Optical Surfaces Ltd has produced a technical information brief that serves to provide an introduction to the company's broad range of capabilities in producing Off-Axis Paraboloids (OAPs).

Off-axis paraboloidsIn addition to supplying these standard specifications, Optical Surfaces technical team is at your disposal to discuss, propose and produce specialised custom OAP's to fulfil the most demanding applications.

Off-axis paraboloids, sometimes referred to off-axis parabolic mirrors or off-axis parabola, provide optical designers with an unobstructed aperture allowing complete access to the focal region as well as reducing the size and minimising the weight of a design. They are especially suitable for broadband or multiple wavelength applications due to their completely achromatic performance. All together these advantages produce a cost-effective solution for many optical design problems with no compromise in performance.

The company offers a wide range of coatings to enable optimised OAP performance  in applications including  Beam Collimation / Expansion, FLIR testing, High power laser beam focusing, Astronomical spectrographs, Target projection, MTF referencing and MRTD testing.
