At OPCO Laboratory, Inc. we provide #design and #manufacturing services to produce high-quality, cost-effective #optical components like diffraction gratings to clients across industries with minimal lead times. The OPCO team is made up of scientists, technicians, and engineers to reliably handle our clients’ #spectrometer design challenges at our ITAR-registered business. Diffraction gratings are central to spectroscopy. Diffraction gratings help bend light, causing it to split into #wavelengths with unique, individual output angles with measurable properties. Users of #spectroscopic instruments that utilize diffraction gratings can examine light’s wavelength, strength, and more. These analyses allow #scientists and #engineers to better understand the characteristics of the material the light interacted with based on how much #light passed through and how much the material absorbed. Diffraction gratings come in a variety of types, such as ruled gratings or #holographic gratings, depending on the application. Spectroscopy utilizes diffraction gratings in optical instruments from #monochromators and spectrometers to #lasers and #fiberoptic devices, making them an integral part of the valuable insights that spectroscopy provides in industries like #aerospace For more information about our services ranging from prototyping to production visit our website https://www.opcolab.com/ If you think OPCO can help you with your next project, send us an email at sales@opcolab.com or give us a call at 978-345-2522 and make sure to mention #linkedin #manufacturing #machining #photonics #optics #spectroscopy #fabrication #custom #lenses #coating #coatings #quality #prototype #polishing #replication #diffraction #opco #laboratory #sales #production #nasa #space #engineering #mirrors #photography #mission #usa #madeintheusa #deposition #military #itar #defense #lasers #infrared #surveillance #windows #technology

OPCO's Custom Optical Solutions for #Military and #Defense OPCO Laboratory, Inc. is proud to serve our military and defense customers. We have supplied products for precision light management, including optical lenses, laser prisms, optical testing tools, and laser windows for several applications. Some examples include: - Forward-looking infrared - Military lasers - Night vision optics and infrared filters for soldiers - Missile guidance systems - Laser optics for nuclear defense applications - Targeting systems - High-quality, lightweight aspherical lenses for use in surveillance devices - Optical glass for fingerprint and retinal scanning devices - Thermal imaging - Anti-reflective coatings for optic devices - Scientific optical instruments OPCO’s engineers and technical staff understand the unique needs and challenges of the military and defense industries. The latest technology in coating for military optics and photonics is critical to ensure that light reflection does not cause the user to be detected. Features like night vision must be durable and compact, as well as have superior clarity. Filters must transmit certain wavelengths while reflecting unwanted ones OPCO Laboratory, Inc. is an ITAR-registered facility. Our capabilities for military and defense optics include beamsplitters, diffraction gratings, mirrors, lenses and domes, windows and prisms, as well as replication services and masters.

DID YOU KNOW? In the fall of 2009, a small spectrometer aboard the #NASA LCROSS satellite detected the presence of water in a cold, polar region of the Earth’s moon. The results of that brief mission were so successful with the components OPCO Laboratory, Inc. supplied that a similar spectrometer was to be added to the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, the #Lunar LADEE mission and OPCO received the call to build a second set of telescope and spectrometer optics for a lunar satellite. OPCO's Solution: The first component of the spectrometer was the entrance optics, which needed to be the biggest photon bucket the payload could support while providing the largest signal possible to the spectrometer because of the very low density of isolated atoms, small molecules, and radicals in the lunar atmosphere. For this task, OPCO built 3-inch diameter non-imaging Cassegrain #telescope optics to focus a 1-degree field of view into an #optical fiber coupled to the entrance slit of the spectrometer. We also produced the collimating and focusing mirrors and the diffraction grating for the f/4 #spectrometer , which has a wavelength range of 230-810nm. And, to complete the UVS optics, OPCO provided the optics for the Solar Occulation Diffusor, the optic that looks directly at the sun, and coupled this light to a fiber optic input to the spectrometer.
