Drilling holes, notching glass, and providing beveled substrates
Precision polishing optics with non-standard aspect ratios
Providing filters, filter glass, and high-index glass materials

Fabrication of Custom Sizes and Shapes

Advanced Optics carries an extensive stock of raw optical materials, in-house, that can be cut to your specific dimensions or shaped to meet your exact requirements.

We also have the ability to modify customer supplied materials which can save not only time, but money.

Custom Optical Coatings

Whether you require a metallic, dielectric or anti-reflective coating, Advanced Optics can provide optical coatings optimized to meet your performance requirements from the UV-VIS-IR.

Drilled, Notched, and Beveled Optical Components

Our dedicated team drills custom holes at both 90°and 45°. We maintain tooling to provide custom bevels to round, square and rectangular optics as well as custom shapes.

Precision Optical Polishing

We have the capabilities to polish glass from commercial grade up to λ/20. Our skilled team of craftsman can hold parallelism of < 2 arc seconds, polish convex/concave substrates as well as ovals and ellipses.
