Optical Fabrication

Optical fabrication is the process of creating lenses, mirrors, and other components used in optical systems, such as cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. This involves precisely shaping and polishing materials, often glass or plastics, to specific specifications to ensure they focus light correctly. Advanced techniques, including grinding, polishing, and coating, are employed to achieve the desired quality and clarity. The goal is to produce components that manipulate light effectively, enhancing image quality and performance in various technologies, from everyday gadgets to scientific instruments.
