Circular Variable Neutral Density (CVND) Optical Filters

Circular Variable Neutral Density, or CVND, optical filters are designed to control beam intensity in high-quality optical systems. As the filter rotates, the metallic gradient coating reduces light transmission from near 100% to less than 0.1%. These filters can be customized for UV, visible, and infrared applications, including laser systems, white light sources, substrate selection, coating materials, optical density gradients, transmission profiles, and custom sizes.

Bullseye® Apodizing Optical Filters

Bullseye® Apodizing Optical Filters are radial density gradient filters used to control intensity variations across an optical beam. These custom filters can be manufactured with dark-in-the-center or clear-in-the-center configurations to support top-hat beam shaping, wavefront modification, detector control, and illumination correction. Reynard can tailor the gradient function, substrate, coating design, and geometry to meet specific optical system requirements.

Linear Apodizing Optical Filters

Linear Apodizing Optical Filters are used to reduce unwanted intensity variations in systems such as spectrometers, imaging instruments, and detector-based optical assemblies. These filters feature constant density in one direction and variable neutral density in the other, allowing them to function as a soft slit. They can help reduce diffraction effects, prevent detector saturation, and improve light uniformity across the sensing area.

Dual-Band Infrared Bandpass Optical Filters

Dual-Band Infrared Bandpass Optical Filters are engineered for systems requiring high transmission in both MWIR and LWIR wavelength regions while maintaining strong out-of-band blocking. Reynard has demonstrated in-band transmission levels above 90% on multiple substrate materials. These filters support infrared imaging, defense optics, cryogenic applications, and next-generation IR systems requiring stable performance, durability, spectral precision, and custom wavelength control.

Dual-Band Infrared AR Optical Coatings

Dual-Band Infrared Anti-Reflection Coatings are designed to improve transmission through optical systems operating in both MWIR and LWIR spectral bands. These coatings help maximize throughput across multiple transmissive elements, improving system-level performance in infrared imaging and sensing applications. Reynard can customize coating designs for demanding dual-band requirements, including substrate compatibility, wavelength performance, environmental durability, and high-efficiency optical transmission.

Optical Fabrication

Reynard has a full service, in-house optical fabrication facility designed to meet your precision optical requirements. Shaping is performed on CNC Mills, semiconductor grade dicing saws,
and optical edgers and then measured with highly accurate, calibrated hand tools and instruments. Surface finishing progresses from rough grinding through precision lap and spindle polishing to achieve highly accurate thickness, surface quality, and surface roughness. Bevels are added to reduce sharp edges and indiscriminate chipping. Diamond turned spherical, aspherical, diffractive and freeform optical components are produced and measured in-house on compatible materials. Optics can be completed with Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) and measured with contact or non-contact instruments. We process a variety of optical materials from popular visible and UV materials such as borosilicate, fused silica, and colored glass to infrared materials including Germanium, Silicon, Zinc Selenide, and multi-spectral Zinc Sulfide. We also are familiar with working on a variety of exotic crystals and chalcogenide materials for use in the 1 to 16um (SWIR, MWIR, & LWIR) wavelength regions. Whether you need production-scale manufacturing, a one-off prototype, or a complex custom optic, our team is ready to help. Contact us today.
