FAQ

Optical components are devices designed to control, manipulate, or transmit light. They are essential in various optical systems, such as imaging devices, lasers, and scientific instruments, to achieve specific light behaviours like reflection, refraction, or filtering.

Optical windows are flat, transparent plates used to separate environments while allowing light to pass through without significant distortion or reflection. They are often used in cameras, scientific instruments, and laser systems where maintaining optical clarity is essential.

Optical lenses focus or disperse light and are crucial in imaging systems, including cameras, microscopes, and telescopes.

Optical mirrors reflect light, redirecting it within optical systems. They are typically coated with reflective materials such as aluminium or silver to maximise reflection. Mirrors are often used in telescopes, laser systems, and other optical setups requiring precise redirection of light beams.

Optical filters selectively transmit or block specific wavelengths of light. They are commonly used in applications like photography, microscopy, and laser systems to control which light frequencies reach the sensor or detector. Filters can be designed for UV, visible, or infrared light.

Optical components are typically made from various materials, depending on the application:

Glass: A versatile material used in many optical lenses and windows.

Fused Silica: Known for its low thermal expansion and high transmission over a wide range of wavelengths.

Sapphire: Offers excellent durability and chemical resistance, commonly used in harsh environments.

Calcium Fluoride: Used in applications that require high UV and infrared transmission.

Plastic: Lightweight and cost-effective, ideal for certain types of lenses and filters.
