LiDAR Components for Atmospheric Sensing

We supply a range of Visible Sheet Polariser for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers within Consumer Electronics. Our Linear Polarisers linearly polarise unpolarised light and can block light that is polarised in the opposite direction. Linear Polarisers are often used in the production of LCD monitor and TVs. The liquid crystals act like a wave-plate, rotating the polarisation axis allowing them to control the amount of light from each pixel. They are used in a similar way for a photographer to prevent surface reflections from water. Our polariser sheets allow different levels of total light from a randomly Read PDF for more information...

We supply a range of Wedge Prisms for a range of applications. All individually QA checked, and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers within Forestry. Wedge Prisms are used in a similar manner to an angle gauge, when plotting the basal area of a group of trees. Wedge prisms are also used in beam steering. All our Wedge Prism are fully inspected on their quality in our ISO 9001 certified, state-of-the-art Metrology laboratory, using our Starrett AV300 Video Imaging System and our Trioptics PrismMaster. This allows us to work to the highest QA standards and meet the tolerance specifications on these precision components. Read PDF for more...

Glass Neutral Density filters attenuate light by absorption just like the gelatine neutral density filters. Glass ND Filters are more robust and tend to have more uniform absorption characteristics. They also attenuate by absorption and so care must be taken to avoid overheating. Attenuation is achieved by polishing glass to the correct thickness. Knight Optical offers stock absorptive ND filters in 12.5mm and 25mm diameters, and 50x50mm squares manufactured from high quality glass. Each filter is available with blocking between 0.1 and 4.0 OD and are available to purchase direct from this page. In addition to our stock absorptive glass ND filters, Knight Optical also offers an extensive custom optic service thanks to our many years of experience in the industry. We can supply ND filters cut to sizes and shapes to fit individual application and mount filters where applicable. READ PDF FOR FULL SPECIFICATION

Here at Knight Optical, we understand that there is no one size fits all for your optical component specifications. That is why – as well as edging down our stock optics – we also offer our entire range as custom-made components. This bespoke option is popular across a variety of sectors such as defence and aerospace, medical and research as well as engineering and manufacturing industries; to name a few. By opting for our customised service, not only will you be able to choose the material, millimetre-perfect dimensions and thicknesses best suited to your application, but you will also be able to pick appropriate optical coatings to protect or enhance your device's operability.
