Apollo Optical Systems products

AOS’s Single-Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) lathes produce superior optical surface finishes and consistent performance in plastic and metals. The SPDT process is used to fabricate optical components and also to machine the optical surface on the inserts used in the molding process.

Apollo Optical Systems is an industry leader in diffractive optics technology. Apollo has unmatched expertise in the design, analysis, and production of diffractive optical components and systems.

AOS is the exclusive injection molder for RPC Photonics Engineered Diffusers.™ Compared to more conventional approaches such as ground glass or diffractive diffusers, the technology developed by RPC Photonics results in optical diffusers with superior performance and enhanced capabilities. Engineered Diffusers are not limited to circular, Lambertian patterns. The scatter pattern is controlled by the design, and may be round, square, elliptical, uniform, non-uniform – whatever you need.

Microlens arrays are finding uses in a wide variety of optical systems and applications, such as: Displays, Illumination systems, Solid-state lighting, Semiconductor processing, Medical systems, Beam shaping, Beam homogenizers, Laser micro-machining, Detector arrays, Laser-diode arrays, Spatial light modulators, Wavefront sensors, Optical interconnections, Optical computing, Image processing, Imaging systems, Confocal microscopy, 

An anti-reflection coating is a dielectric thin-film coating applied to an optical surface in order to reduce the optical reflectivity of that surface within a certain wavelength range. Often the basic principle of operation is that reflected waves from different optical interfaces largely cancel each other by destructive interference. AOS designs and builds all of its own coating fixtures in-house; this saves you time and money!
