SPACE OPTICS SOLUTIONS BY OMEGA OPTICAL
At Omega Optical, we are committed to advancing the field of space optics with innovative products and agile design capabilities. Our expertise in Near Infrared (NIR) Bandpass Filters, Diamond Turned Mirrors, and Specialty Space Coatings ensures that your mission-critical components perform flawlessly in the harsh environment of space.
AGILE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
At Omega Optical, we understand the critical importance of meeting aggressive and fixed launch dates. Our agile design and development process ensures that we can quickly adapt to changing requirements and deliver high-quality optical components on time. Our approach includes:
- Collaborative Engineering: Working closely with your team to understand and meet your specific needs.
- Rapid Prototyping: Maintaining production capacity to quickly produce and test prototypes in parallel with regular production.
- Balancing Tolerances: Optimizing the performance of each component to maximize signal quality while controlling costs.
SHORT-WAVE IR (SWIR) BANDPASS FILTERS
Our SWIR Bandpass Filters (also referred to a C-Band) are designed to transmit specific wavelengths of short-wave light while blocking unwanted shorter or longer wavelengths. These filters are essential in low earth orbit (LEO) space communication systems. Our state-of-the-art filters include:
- High Transmission Efficiency: Maximizes signal strength by allowing the desired wavelengths to pass through with minimal loss.
- Deep Out-of-Band Blocking: Ensures high signal-to-noise ratio by effectively blocking unwanted wavelengths.
- Customizable Specifications: Tailored to meet your specific requirements for center wavelength, bandwidth, and blocking range.
DIAMOND TURNED MIRRORS
Our Diamond Turned Mirrors, particularly the Flycut Fast Steering Mirrors, are engineered for precision and reliability. These mirrors are crucial for applications requiring rapid and accurate adjustments, such as satellite communication and imaging systems. Key features include:
- High Precision Surfaces: Achieves superior optical performance with minimal wavefront distortion.
- Rapid Response: Ensures quick adjustments to maintain accurate alignment and focus.
- Durability: Built to withstand the extreme conditions of space, including thermal fluctuations and radiation.
SPECIALTY SPACE COATINGS
Our Specialty Space Coatings are designed to provide high durability and optimal performance in the demanding conditions of space. These coatings protect optical components from harsh environmental factors such as radiation, extreme temperatures, and micrometeoroid impacts. Highlights include:
- Thermal Stability: Maintains performance across a wide temperature range.
- Radiation Resistance: Withstands the damaging effects of space radiation.
- Custom Solutions: Tailored to meet the specific needs of your mission, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Key Supporting Capabilities
Solution
Design & Engineering
Our commitment to finding the right solutions for difficult problems means that we are capable of doing what other engineers cannot. Some say we bend physics and solve the unsolvable. Can we? Maybe. What we know we can do is this: We ask questions and we dig, because sometimes the solutions people believe they need only scratch the surface.
Eyebrow
Optical Coatings
Omega coating heritage dates back to 1936, and spans a wide range of technologies: Sunglasses to space-borne sun-visors; halogen light bulbs to COVID-fighting UV-C lamps, supermarket scanners to modern printers, astronomical mirrors to prestigious art installations to entertainment optics: if an application requires a precision or decorative coatings we surely have a proven solution.
