Windows & Wedges

Sapphire is an incredibly hard crystal (HK1370kg/mm2), second only to diamond. Fluoresence free sapphire windows have high mechanical strength, thermal and chemical resistance and is scratch resistant, making it very desirable for operating in harsh conditions. Sapphire windows can be made thinner than alternative crystals thanks to its structural integrity and can operate up to 2030⁰C. The material transmits between the UV and IR at 0.15-5.5µm, and has a high refractive index of 1.75.. Knight Optical supply a range of quality Sapphire optical components including Fluoresence free sapphire windows, Sapphire lenses, Sapphire prisms, and Sapphire blanks either from stock or bespoke custom made to your specification for a range of applications.  Our current range includes Random Polarization Sapphire that can be used for most applications apart from UV use.

Optics are rarely standalone components. They frequently need a casing, a carrier or even complex integration into a system. This is the exact specialty of our Mechanical Engineering department. We put our mechanical production skills in the service of optomechanical and even purely mechanical customer applications. We manufacture nonferrous metal, noncorroding machininggrade steel and plastic components and produce highprecision mechanical subassemblies as well as unmounted turned and milled parts in small and medium quantities. CNCmanufacturing of turning and milled parts CNCmanufacturing with driven tools CNCMilling machine with 3 and 5axis also in single and small series production Prototypes (max. turning diameter up to 60 mm and milled parts 500 x 400 x 100 mm)

ORAFOL Fresnel Optics GmbH offers a wide variety of microstructured optical components in varios sizes. Among others fresnel prisms, cylindrical lenses and beamsplitters, lenticular lenses and corner cube reflectors. We provide both a catalogue of standard products that can be adapted to our customers' requirements as well as the capabilities to design and manufacture custom optical solutions including finishing processes e.g. anti-reflective coatings and nano-structures and precise CNC machining.
