Quality Management System: Reynard Awarded ISO 9001:2015
Reynard Corporation, manufacturer of custom precision optics and thin-film coatings, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the coveted ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certification from the accredited KSQA.
Bullseye® Apodizing Filters: Eliminate Undesirable Intensity Variations in Optical Systems
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings, announces the Bullseye® Apodizing neutral density filter. This filter is part of the Bullseye® apodizer line of customizable gradient filters that eliminate undesirable intensity variations in optical systems, for instance. In addition, the density of the filter increases radially from a clear center, where light is usually at its peak intensity, to the outside edge, where it can become completely opaque.
Custom Arc Gradient Filter Development: Reynard Corporation Successfully Completes a Navy Phase II SBIR Development
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings, has successfully completed a Phase II SBIR development program for the Navy by delivering a specialized, multi-functional optical filter.
Circular Variable Neutral Density Filter: Customizable Variable Density Functions in a Compact Footprint
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of optical components and thin film coatings announces complete customization of their Circular Variable Neutral Density (CVND) Filters. This technology is best used in high quality optical systems to change the intensity of light from 100% to less than 0.1%.
Environmental Thin Film Gauges: A Unique Way of Monitoring Corrosive Environments
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings announces thin film-based environmental gauges. Thin film-based environmental gauges are manufactured by depositing environmentally susceptible coating materials onto an inert substrate. Coating materials are typically deposited in a custom defined quasi-grid pattern of lines. Redundant traces, matched in length and size, can be implemented to monitor environmental changes over a small region, such as for rising gas or fluid conditions, or to provide damage protection when used in abrasive conditions.
Indium Arsenide Optical Coatings: A Simpler Solution
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings announces the addition of polished and coated indium arsenide (InAs) to its list of manufacturing capabilities. InAs combines the refractive index profile of silicon with a short-wavelength blocking range broader than germanium.
Durable Metalized Windows: Durable Metal Coatings Allow for Hermetically Sealed Optics
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings specializes in manufacturing high performance metalized windows. Metalized windows are produced by depositing a pre-determined pattern of metal on the surface of the optic utilizing a thin film coating process. Typical metals include gold (Au), Copper (Cu), and Nickel (Ni) as they provide good conduction and low corrosion characteristics. Other metals can also be used, if requested.
Stable Broadband IR Laser Output Coupler: Stable Operation in the LWIR Wavelength Band
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings announce a broadband IR laser output coupler. Output couplers are partial reflecting mirrors positioned on one end of a laser cavity, typically reflecting 90% and transmitting 10% of incident radiation for the long wave IR (8-11µm) spectral band.
Geometries as Small as 5 Microns: Custom Patterned Optics
Reynard Corporation announces custom photolithography services to manufacture patterned optics. Our contact exposing technique can achieve geometries as small as 5 microns utilizing a variety of thin film coating materials. Metallic or dielectric materials are selected based on the application’s transparent, reflective, and/or conductive opto-electrical requirements. In addition, patterns can be applied to most substrate materials, including plastic sheeting.
Military Coatings on Galvo Mirrors: Durable High Reflection Coatings for Superior Performance
Reynard Corporation, a leading global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings announces high precision coatings for Galvanometer mirrors. Galvo mirrors are used in various laser system applications such as scanners, bar code readers, sweeping remote sensors, marking systems, and laser light shows.
Optical Heated Windows: High Optical Transmission with Matched Impedance
Reynard Corporation, a principal global supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings, creates custom optical heated windows utilizing conductive materials. Heated windows are the most resourceful way of keeping imaging planes or optical instrumentation windows free of moisture or fog.
Bullseye® Apodizing Filters: Balances Undesirable Intensity Variations in Optical Systems
Reynard Corporation, a worldwide supplier of custom optics and thin film coatings, announces the Bullseye® apodizing neutral density filter. This filter is part of the Bullseye® apodizer line of customizable gradient filters and eradicate undesirable intensity variations in optical systems.
