Substrate Materials to Fit Your Application

The success of your project starts with the material. Selecting the right optical glass for a particular application can significantly impact cost, durability, and performance. That's why it makes sense to work with people who know their materials.

Material properties including the transmission, refractive index, Abbe number, density, thermal expansion coefficient and hardness of the substrate can be critical for deciding what is the best choice for your application. The below highlights the transmission regions of the different substrates.

Transmission regions for common substrates

Paralight Optics offers a full range of materials from materials manufacturers around the world such as SCHOTT, OHARA Corporation CDGM Glass. Our engineering and customer service teams will examine the options and recommend optical materials that best fit your application.

Design

Complete optical/mechanical design/coating design and engineering when you need it, We would partner to finalize your specifications and create the manufacturing process accordingly.

●  Experts in Optical Engineering

Our optical and mechanical engineers are experts in all aspects of new product development, from design to prototyping and from product management to process development. We can design initial assembly line requirements if you wish to bring production in-house, or we can establish an optical manufacturing outsource arrangement from almost anywhere on the globe.
Our engineers utilize high-end computer workstations with SolidWorks® 3D solid modeling computer-aided design software for mechanical designs, and ZEMAX® optical design software to test and validate optical designs.

●  Mechanical Engineering

For customer after customer, our opto-mechanical engineering team has made recommendations, designed and redesigned products to improve performance and cut costs. We provide a project summary report complete with engineering drawings, part sourcing, and product cost analysis.

●  Lens Design

Paralight Optics designs and manufactures prototype and volume lenses for a variety of applications. From micro optics to multi-element systems, our in-house lens and coatings designers can help ensure optimal performance and cost for your product.

●  Systems Engineering

Better optical systems can mean a competitive edge for your technology. Our turnkey optics solutions allow you to prototype quickly, cut product costs, and improve your supply chain. Our engineers can help determine if a simplified system using an aspheric lens will improve performance, or if standard optics are the better choice for your project.

Optical Coating

We have optical coating capabilities in both thin coating designing and producing coatings for applications throughout the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), and infrared (IR) spectral regions.
