Custom Patterns
From 1951 USAF targets to many custom reticles and resolution targets, Opto-Line provides universities and scientific companies with the precision metrology components for calibration, measurements and alignment.
April 10th, 2020 | Custom PatternsOpto-Line has been developing optical patterns for the medical device industry for more than 20 years.
April 1st, 2020 | Custom PatternsOpto-Line provides the highest quality apertures for medical endoscopes. Typically utilizing our proprietary low-reflecting black chrome, our apertures have become the benchmark for endoscope manufacturers. To learn more about our expertise in the areas of Endoscopy and Optometry/Ophthalmology, reach out to us today.
Opto-Line builds high-performance polka-dot pattern Beam Splitters
March 25th, 2020 | Custom PatternsOur beam splitter patterns are ideal for numerous optical systems. A beam splitter is a device for dividing a beam of light or other electromagnetic radiation into two or more separate beams. Offering a distinct advantage over standard dielectric beamsplitters, Polka-Dot Beamsplitters have a constant reflection/transmission ratio over a large spectral range and are ideal […]
Opto-Line offers the highest quality Multi-Density Resolution Masks that can be fabricated using both halftone or continuous methods.
March 6th, 2020 | Custom PatternsOpto-Line uses the following methods for our customer’s custom Multi-Density Resolution Masks: 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 this case, Opto-Line requires separate […]
Opto-Line International has been creating custom precision patterns on optics since 1967
February 27th, 2020 | Custom PatternsWe are not your standard, stock reticle company. Instead, Opto-Line manufactures your unique, custom patterns on optical substrates per your requirements. Within our limitations of about 1μm, we can produce any pattern you may need with the precision and quality you should expect. From reticles and apertures to multi-density resolution masks and almost any pattern […]
Our patterned lenses for the Aerospace Industry have withstood the test of time and the elements of space.
February 25th, 2020 | Custom PatternsOpto-Line has provided various custom patterns typically utilizing our low-reflecting black chrome. For Aerospace applications, our precision pattern and coatings are often found in systems created by the most well-known companies. Many of our aerospace reticles are used in sun angle sensor systems on satellites. Our durable black chrome has a Rave <5% over the […]
Thank you to all those who stopped by our booth at SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco where we were able to display a just small sample of the custom precision optical patterning we’ve performed over the years.
February 12th, 2020 | Custom PatternsOur blanket photoresist coating services for semiconductor test wafers are processed in a dedicated, class 100 cleanroom. To learn more about Opto-Line’s Photoresist Coating services, please call us today at 978-658-7255.
February 3rd, 2020 | Custom PatternsWafer sizes range from 50mm diameter to 300mm diameter. Coating thicknesses range from 0.5 microns to 10 microns. A photoresist is a light-sensitive material used in several industrial processes, such as photolithography and photoengraving, to form a patterned coating on a surface. Blanket photoresist coatings may also be patterned per customer specifications. Coating thickness and […]
At Opto-Line International, we’re often asked what our custom precision optical patterns are used for. The answer is not so simple. The variety of markets and end products is almost endless…
January 27th, 2020 | Custom PatternsHere is just one example of thousands that demonstrate the depth of our services and diversity of our customers. Case Study: Opto-Line develops custom pattern for the Institute for Brain and Mind involving imaging the brain activity in a freely walking fruit fly. Client: Institute for Brain and Mind University of California, San Diego Using […]
Opto-Line Case Study- Client: European Southern Observatory (ESO)
January 13th, 2020 | Custom PatternsESO partners with Opto-Line International on a close to 2-year research and development project, culminating in a successful modification to their VLT mid-infrared imager VISIR to greatly enhance its ability as a planet finder. ESO and the Breakthrough Initiatives have conducted a 100-hour observing campaign to search for low-mass planets around both components of the […]
