Where to Buy Ultraviolet Optics

Edmund Optics is a premier supplier of UV optics including mirrors, lenses, filters, and beam expanders. We work with ISO 9001 certified and MIL-spec quality systems, and use a wide range of metrology including interferometers, cavity ring-down (CRD) spectrometers, Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensors, profilometers, and coordinate measurement machines (CMMs). We provided guaranteed laser damage threshold specifications.

LASEROPTIK offers excimer optics coatings of various types – anti-reflection (VAR), high reflection (HR), thin-film polarizer (TFP) and variable attenuator (VA). This can be done for many UV wavelengths like 157 nm, 172 nm, 126 nm and others.

EKSMA Optics has substrates and finished optical components for the ultraviolet – windows, lenses and mirrors made from lithium fluoride (LiF), calcium fluoride (CaF₂), barium fluoride (BaF₂) and sapphire (Al₂O₃) for laser and optical instruments applications in the UV wavelength range.

OPTOMAN can manufacture custom dielectric thin films and high-power laser optics for UV applications starting from 200 nm. Various type of coatings – anti-reflection, thin-film polarizer, broadband or laser line high reflectivity can be optimized for your application.

Shanghai Optics custom-made optical components are designed with specific substrates, custom coatings to optimize the performance in UV, visible, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR wavelength. With the help of state-of-the-art metrology, Shanghai Optics is committed to high quality and top performance optical components.

UltraFast Innovations (UFI) has a range of dielectric mirrors, some of which cover parts of the ultraviolet region. For example, we have XUV (extreme ultraviolet) and soft X-ray multilayer mirrors which are suitable e.g. for at the second pulse generation and pulse shaping based on high harmonic generation (HHG). Our design know-how and application experience gained through a strong collaboration with numerous scientists within these fields allows us to provide custom support for the planning of your setup and the realization of advanced unique experiments.

Universe Kogaku offers UV lenses and lens design for electronics, optics, medical and precision industrial applications. For example, we have deep UV lenses optimized for 250 nm wavelength, available from stock with focal lengths from 6 mm to 105 mm.

We have designed and manufactured these lenses as a reasonably priced solution to the growing need for imaging outside the visible spectral region. Owing to the broad transmission range of the elements, this family of lenses can transmit well in the infrared spectral region as well.

Here at Knight Optical, our wide-ranging portfolio of UV optics are employed for a vast range of applications. Choose from our array of stock – including beamsplitters, filters, lenses and mirrors – or take advantage of our optical expertise with custom-made UV optics – which include calcium fluoride components, UV ground glass diffusers, optical flats, polarisers, windows and prisms.

ICC have a very strong ability for producing ultraviolet optical windows. We apply three polishing techniques: pitch polishing, double side polishing and contact polishing to supply window sizes from 1.2 mm to 350 mm with a thickness from 0.12 mm to 60 mm. The shape can be round, square, drilled, step, or customized based on our CNC machines. (We can use a CAD drawing to work with customized shape windows.)

ICC windows can reach high level precision like s/d 10–5; flatness λ/10 at 633 nm; parallelism better than 5 min; bevel 0.1–0.25 mm; Ra < 1 nm based on testing devices of ZyGO, AFM, 15-sec gonimeter, and 2D imaging system.
