Opto-Mechanical Assemblies

Protecting the customers’ investment in precision optical components, we offer a value-added service of design, manufacture, and assembly of the optical components into protective easy-to-handle housings. G&H can provide integrated optics and electronics, build-to-print designs, and optical modules optimized for optical performance, footprint, and/or power consumption. The cost and time benefits to production when sourcing an opto-mechanical assembly from G&H can be significant:

• Pre-alignment of complex optical components enables drop-in final assembly
• Precision alignment of various and varied optical surfaces reduces production time and internal metrology requirements
• Ease of handling minimizes internal production time
• Minimization of damage to precision surfaces reduces yield losses
• Relaxation of cleanroom requirements lowers customer facility costs

The opto-mechanical assemblies we produce for customers are wide ranging. A few examples of the breadth of opto-mechanical assemblies:

• Prisms potting in aluminum housings
• Waveplates in ring-mounted housings
• Periscope prism assemblies
• 25x magnification lens assemblies
• Zoom lenses

Applications

Laser cavity designs: Lasers, range finding, reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting and designating, target identification. Imaging designs: Dermatology, endoscopy, hyperspectral imaging, inspection, machine vision, metrology, optometry, projection, thermal imaging.
