  • Optical Beamsplitters
    Custom Beamsplitter Supplier and Manufacturer – Both Cube and Plate Beamsplitters...

    • PFG produces custom beamsplitter plates and cubes in the UV, visible, and MWIR for a wide variety of different industries.

    Plate Beamsplitter

    Plate beamsplitters have an advantage over cube beamsplitters due to their reduced size, weight, and complexity.  Plate beamsplitters require the light to traverse much less glass than cube beamsplitters and don’t require a cement layer, which influences the laser-induced damage threshold of the beamsplitter.  Plate beamsplitters also have fewer faces that require coatings.  For these reasons, plate beamsplitters are often chosen for simplicity, cost, and/or high laser damage threshold applications.  Where plate beamsplitters are not as advantageous are in broadband and polarizing applications.

    Cube Beamsplitter

    Because the polarization effects of a coating are enhanced when immersed inside glass, cube beamsplitters are useful for creating polarizing beamsplitters.  Polarizers and broadband beamsplitters are much simpler and more cost-effective when done as a cube beamsplitter.  Some customers also find the general shape of a cube beamsplitter makes them easier to mount and align in their system.

  • Anti-Reflective Coatings - AR Coatings
    Optical Thin Film Coatings - Anti-Reflective Coatings - Single-wavelength or broadband AR’s in the range 300nm through 5µm...

    • PFG has been producing industry-leading AR coatings for 42 years.  This long history gives us the expertise to apply AR coatings to the full array of optical glasses, crystals, and IR substrates.  Known for their high durability, our AR coatings can survive all MIL-spec durability and environmental requirements. Complimenting our spherical and flat polishing capabilities, we apply AR coatings to our in-house lenses, windows, and prisms.  Our design and engineering team can also create a custom AR coating for any need on customer-supplied substrates.

    Single-Layer AR Coatings

    The single layer MgF2 coating is the oldest and simplest type of AR coating.  While most efficient for high-index glasses, these single layer MgF2 coatings can often be a cost-effective compromise over more complicated broad-band AR coatings.

    Broad-band AR coatings

    Broad-band AR coatings are multi-layered coatings that are tailored to AR the exact band-width of the system.  These AR coatings can be designed in the visible, SWIR, MWIR, or any combination, and cover most any angle-of-incidence for converging or diverging beams.

  • Optical Lenses - Spherical Lenses
    PFG has extensive lens manufacturing capabilities using all types of optical glasses, fused silica and crystalline materials including CaF2, Ge, Si, ZnSe, and ZnS....

    • Custom Lenses

    We select the best process technology from spindle polishers, precision glasses, CNC polishers, magneto rheological finishing or a combination thereof to produce the required specifications – some subtle such as low spatial frequency, some more obviously beneficial such as low surface roughness – to achieve the required optical performance from a given material. Tight centering, truncation, high included angle or long radii – top optical lens manufacturers USA use best practices developed from decades-long experience to achieve timely and efficient production of spherical lenses. Our custom optical lenses factory has a vast library of test plates and many current model Zygo interferometers, all with complete reference spheres for accurate surface measurement to offer all types of precision optics. Moreover, we offer laser line polarizing cube beamsplitters, broadband non-polarizing cube beamsplitters, large optical flat mirrors, and optical coating service.
