Our company offers a broad selection of pellicle beamsplitters, filters, and windows for UV to IR applications.

Our standard features include eliminating secondary (ghost) reflections, spherical and chromatic aberrations, beam displacement, and refractive errors. We also offer special features such as sizes from 1/16" to 48" and larger, any shape, with critical reflection flatness specifications met, often with better than one wave flatness. For critical transmission applications, we offer better than 1/10 wave and fractional fringe thickness uniformity.
