Rochester Precision Optics has extensive experience and equipment for diamond turning and deterministic grinding of many materials useful in the infrared. This expertise is offered as a build-to-print service and provides prototypes to high-volume production. Our diamond turning facility is staffed with toolmakers with 15+ years of experience in diamond turning and optical tool surface generation. Infrared optics are available in a broad range of diameters from a few millimeters to 60mm with errors of less than 1/10 λ.

From rapid prototype to high-volume production, RPO leads in IR optics. Standard and custom designs are just the start — download our full product catalog for more information or contact us to discuss your needs.
