Precision Wavefront Engineering
ColliMeter™
Collimated beams provide a uniform, parallel wavefront that is essential for accurately testing and characterizing optical systems. From camera lenses to high‑energy laser assemblies, these beams simulate an object at infinity without introducing additional aberrations. Optikos supplies fully specified collimators in both reflective and refractive designs, ensuring that the beam size, wavelength coverage, and surface accuracy match the exact requirements of each application.
A Flexible Resource
For more than four decades, Optikos has defined the standard for metrological accuracy, delivering collimators whose surface tolerances, wavelength correction, and aperture control are rigorously validated. This legacy of precision engineering ensures that every beam you generate meets the exacting diffraction‑limited criteria required for high‑performance optical testing and validation.
