„You can’t manage what you can’t measure“.
This famous quote by Peter Ducker is also valid for the production of high-quality optical components and systems. If you are trying to push the limits, even smallest levels of imperfections can affect the performance of your product and addressing these issues becomes increasingly challenging, time-consuming, and costly. Even more so if you do not identify and address the critical imperfections for the application at hand.
Our goal is to provide highly efficient, robust, reliable measurement tools with highest precision and sensitivity designed to control surface quality and to detect and quantifying imperfections relevant for your application.
One important example is surface roughness. Even roughness levels far below 1 nm can cause losses, haze, and straylight in optical systems. Sophisticated instruments like atomic force microscopy or white-light interferometry can provide information on roughness down to this range if designed and operated properly.
We are a highly energetic team with more than 20 years experience in optical systems design and engineering, high-end surface and coating metrology, network and data security, software development, as well as strong expertise in optical manufacturing and coating technologies. Moreover the strong collaboration with partners like Fraunhofer IOF and companies specialized in cutting-edge optics, electronics, mechanical, and software design ensures the best possible products.
Get in touch with us to discuss your specific challenges and we will try to point you to the best possible solution for you, which could be existing instruments already available from us or other commercial suppliers of metrology equipment or a new solution especially designed for you.
