Specialty Patterning and Cutting

Maximizing (or minimizing) Photons

When our customer needs require Omega to maximize the clear aperture, ensure precision lateral placement of blocking coatings, or create micron-precision patterns: the answer is YES, we have the tools available.

Our coating metrology stations record the precision coordinates for coating attributes of interest, enabling us to maximize throughput for specialty performance while controlling cost.

Laser Marking is used in a number of ways (sshhh, we have a few secrets up our sleeves) beyond traditional part identification/serialization. 

For volume applications, Automated Edge Blackening significantly reduces touch-time, improves part-to-part consistency, and stray light performance.

We are capable of performing lithographic patterning on a macro-scale (wafers) as well as micro-scale (fiber tips).

For high volume cutting and packaging, our dicing equipment is used for precision edge control and consistency.

Our in-house holographic grading recording labs allow for custom master grating production. Optical replication is used to economically transfer optical quality surfaces onto materials or components that are complex, or not suitable for direct fabrication. Nearly all non-porous materials are capable of being replicated onto.

Key supporting capabilities

Solution

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.

Solution

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.

Solution

We have the diffractive optics trifecta of multiple Ruling Engines, Holographic Mastering, and Lithographic exposure to create diffractive elements. Our in-house design and manufacturing processes provide standard or custom gratings for a range of applications, in both Original and Replicated formats.

Solution

We believe you cannot confidently make what you cannot measure, and therefore have invested in standard and custom metrology and inspection stations. Certified ISO 9001:2015. Lean manufacturing, including 6 Sigma methodologies and approaches to problem solving.
