LGO
We manufacture high-power optics and coatings for demanding high-energy laser applications offering a range of components and coatings available to customize to your program requirements.
Optimax’s precision sets us apart in the high-power laser optics world with high engineered processes for strictly controlled fabrication, cleaning, coating, and packaging resulting in:
- Low absorption
- High laser damage threshold
- Long lifetime
Laser Grade Optics (LGO)
LGO is an internal business unit at Optimax that was designed to help meet the increasing demands of our customers for the most extreme high precision of components for laser applications. These specialized cells internally are trained and have the technology at hand to manufacture optical components that are:
HIGH PRECISION – LARGE DIAMETER – HIGHLY ENGINEERED
This was an internal transformation from not just a manufacturer but engineered manufacturing that can solve challenging problems for our customers and create solutions to these problems while focusing on specific applications.
FOR THE MOST EXTREME APPLICATIONS – EVERY DETAIL MATTERS.
YOU CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE PICTURE.
Laser Grade Coatings
HIGH LASER DAMAGE – LOW ABSORPTION – LONG LIFETIME
Processes designed specifically for pulsed and CW high-fluence laser applications.
- Proprietary cleaning procedure
- Highly uniform coatings (large diameter steep surfaces)
- OTR coating designed for long lifetime
- No loss of transmission after billions of DUV laser pulses
