Precision-Optical Engineering, part of MBDA UK, will be showing the Interfire II 3-5 interferometer and a comprehensive display of diamond-turned components at Photonex
These include lenses, mirrors and mould tools, featuring complex non-spherical surfaces on a range of optical materials and metal alloys.
On show on Stand C43 (Armstrong Optical ), the Interfire 3-5 is part of the Interfire II family of infrared interferometers and is used to monitor the quality of optical components and systems in the 3-5micron region of the spectrum.
Other instruments in the range operate at 10.6micron, 9.2-10.7microns tunable, 1.55microns and 850nm.
The Interfire-ii 3-5 may be used in production, quality control or research applications.
P-OE's diamond turning facility is one of the largest in the UK, containing five single point diamond turning lathes with a range of capacities.
Optical components up to 700mm diameter can be accommodated for the manufacture of large optics such as mirrors for applications in, for example, astronomy.
