PRODUCT CATEGORY

Wedged Windows & Wedge Prisms


Both surfaces polished but oriented at a precise angle to each other — from arcseconds to degrees depending on the application. Used for beam steering, ghost suppression, and eliminating back-reflection in sensitive optical systems.

  • Small-angle wedges for ghost image suppression
  • Larger-angle prisms for beam deviation and steering
  • Tight angle control to match system requirements
  • All standard window materials available

PRODUCT CATEGORY

Mirrors


Precision flat mirror blanks — one surface polished, one fine-ground — then thin-film coated to your specified reflectance and wavelength range. Same material options and dimensions as our window line.

Coating options

  • Protected aluminum — broadband visible, cost-effective
  • Protected silver — high reflectance across visible and NIR
  • Gold — optimal for IR applications
  • Dielectric — laser-line or broadband ultra-high reflectance
