Custom Patterns

Opto-Line is synonymous with customization. We are proud to deliver some of the most difficult custom optical pattern designs that that require a very high degree of precision, experience and ingenuity. From Defense to Research and Development, Opto-Line serves hundreds of world-wide markets for their custom optical patterns and coatings needs.  

We assist the Military and Defense industries by supplying precision Custom Patterned Optics, Range Finder Reticles, and EMI Grids  for the development of scopes, laser range finders, target designator systems and other critical applications. Opto-Line is proud to manufacture parts used for the United States’ defensive systems as we take great pride in our work […]

Our multi-density resolution masks can be fabricated by either half tone or continuous methods as described below. Half Tone: By using very small dots and changing the amount of the dots, we can create varying densities that typically fulfill our customers’ needs. Continuous: Discrete, individual depositions of Inconel are used to create each density. In […]

From 1951 USAF targets to many custom reticles and resolution targets, Opto-Line’s Metrology services provide precision components for calibration, measurements and alignments.  

Lens patterning requires advanced skills and processing methods; a service that few can provide. Opto-Line can deliver photoresist patterns on lenses or a full thin film coating patterns. The feature sizes that Opto-Line can handle will strongly depend on the radius of the substrate. Feasibility of each project is reviewed by our team.    

Opto-Line International Creating Custom Precision Patterns on Optics Since 1967 Opto-Line is not your standard, stock reticle company. We manufactures your unique, custom patterns on optical substrates per your requirements. From reticles and apertures to multi-density resolution masks and almost any pattern imaginable, our photolithography and thin film coatings practices are optimized to create your […]

Combined with our specialized photolithography, Opto-Line utilizes thin film coatings to make your custom patterns. Some examples of our custom patterning capabilities include reticles, resolution test targets, EMI grids, apertures, linear scales, and neutral density step tablets. Opto-Line can typically tackle any custom pattern imaginable.  

Using 0.17mm thick glass coverslips, Opto-Line manufactured a unique, randomized pattern in 10um squares, deposited in evaporated gold. The coverslips were diced to a final part size of 0.4mm x 0.6mm. These coverslips were placed on the head of the fruit fly to create a flat surface suitable for imaging.  “Brain imaging in fruit flies […]
