What We Do

We design, manufacture and assemble high-quality, diffraction-limited optical systems. We provide tight coordination between design and manufacturing tolerances and requirements, thereby assuring the final system performance matches the initial design goals. In addition to our catalog product lines, we work with customers to develop new custom systems to meet their specific needs.

If you have a challenging design and want to see it turned into a successful prototype or product, contact Special Optics.

Special Optics is an ITAR registered company.
