Buying Diffractive Optics

Top-level product category: icon optical components and devices

Related product category: micro-optics

Diffractive optical elements (DOE) exploit the phenomenon of diffraction. Examples include diffraction gratings, diffractive beam splitters, and micro-optics. These elements are essential in various applications, including beam shaping, wavelength multiplexing, and holography.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying diffractive optics. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for diffractive optics. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

diffractive optics

WOP offers diffractive optical elements for THz frequencies – various types of custom elements suitable for your specific THz wave manipulation applications.

The terahertz frequency range ranges from 0.1 THz to 10 THz in an emerging wide research field with multiple applications – from communication to optical imaging or spectroscopy. Various materials such as semiconductors, metals, polymers, or plastics can be used as functional materials. One of the key applications is THz optical imaging which enables seeing through transparent and opaque materials. Ultrashort pulse laser processing is used as a precise tool to manufacture diffractive and custom optical elements.
