Discover how high-performance optics are crafted using a wide range of substrates, combining precision engineering and material versatility.
Choosing the appropriate material is fundamental to preventing high-performance optical systems from cracking under pressure. The substrate used for an optical window or mirror determines the system’s optical performance, thermal stability, and durability under operational conditions.
ZygoTM, a global leader in precision optics, distinguishes itself through a material-agnostic approach, manufacturing from an exceptionally broad range of optical and non-standard materials to guarantee optimal performance for every application.
While many optical manufacturers work primarily with conventional materials such as BK7, fused silica, and various flint glasses, which are well-suited for general-purpose visible-spectrum optics, ZygoTM goes one step further.
ZygoTM guarantees optimal performance for every application.
