Technical FAQ

Configuration questions for Precision Optics

What wavelengths does the Precision Optics cover?

Design Wavelength: 546.1 nm · Wavelength range: 400-700 nm. Check the specification at your angle of incidence. Coating bands and grating efficiency curves are quoted at a reference angle, and both shift as that angle changes.

What size is the Precision Optics?

Diameter Tolerance: +0.0, -0.15 mm · Clear Aperture: >80%. Clear aperture is smaller than the physical part, and the mount that holds it takes more again. Size the optic from the beam diameter at that plane, including the margin the mount consumes.

What is the Precision Optics made from?

Material: BK7 grade A optical glass · Surface Quality: 60-40 scratch and dig. Substrate and coating decide thermal behaviour and cleaning method as much as optical performance. Confirm both before the optic enters a high-average-power or vacuum path.
