Learn MorePrecision Pitch Polishing
The highly skilled opticians at Sydor Optics have perfected the art and science of conventional pad and pitch polishing, also known as single-sided polishing. While surface flatness over a full clear aperture can be attained down to λ/20 PV, it is possible to reach surface flatness tolerances of λ/40 PV over smaller sub apertures.

Learn MorePrecision Cleaning & Packaging
Cleaning plays a vital role in the manufacture of precision optics, as even a small amount of dust, debris or residual polishing compound can impact the end use of the optics or any subsequent coating process. Contaminated glass optics may affect throughput of the optical system in which they are utilized. To prevent these problems, consistent and thorough cleaning is imperative throughout the manufacturing process.
