Optical Surfaces is an established supplier of Ritchey-Chrétien (RC) telescope optics for high-precision surveillance applications. It has been producing large, high-precision flat mirrors for more than 60 years and is renowned for its technical expertise, dedication to quality, and customer service.
RC telescope optics typically use primary and secondary hyperbolic mirrors and offer compact designs, a good field of view, and freedom from optical errors and spherical aberrations, which can interfere with traditional reflecting telescope optics.
Benefiting from a simple two-mirror design, RC telescope optics provide exceptional image quality, high thermal stability, and achromatic performance from ultraviolet to far-infrared wavelengths, positioning them as a perfect solution for a wide range of surveillance applications.
Optical Surfaces is a leading supplier of hyperbolic mirrors up to 700 millimeters (mm) in diameter, providing the tight tolerances and accuracy necessary for these optics. Its production facility has uniquely stable conditions with a stable temperature and very low disturbance from vibrations.
Dr Aris Kouris of Optical Surfaces said, “Our experienced optical engineers routinely produce hyperbolic mirrors with surface accuracies up to λ/20 peak-to-valley (PV) and a surface finish of 10/5 and microroughness of less than 1.0 nanometer (nm) RMS. These ultra-high precision hyperbolic mirrors can be supplied with a coating optimized for a specific military surveillance application.”
