Varying the polishing speed and length of stroke combined with our recipe for polishing and grinding a lens results in perfection. That means taking as much time as needed to achieve the highest accuracy, with optical elements as large as 660 mm in diameter. Our processes feature a grinding house where shaping, generating, grinding, polishing, and edging operations are performed and where our various machines produce surface configurations true to 1/20th of a wave. Our engineers and applications apply their expertise and feel to grinding and polishing each lens to hit the tough specification.

From single to multi-component assemblies, our engineers develop the fastest and most efficient ways to assemble and test your design. Whether it is bonding simple beamsplitter cubes or manufacturing complex custom or build-to-print assemblies from ultraviolet through far infrared, we meet every challenge.
Our in-house ability to “do it all"—designing fixtures, testing optical alignment, or developing proprietary assembly techniques– allows Pacific Coast Optics to react rapidly and effectively to the design and production demands of even the most difficult assemblies.
Our custom assembly experience includes a wide range of applications such as night vision systems, medical and laser surgical instruments, industrial lasers for marking, cutting and welding, optical information storage systems, imaging systems for satellites, cameras, telescopes, and microscopes, laser imaging systems, and laser range-finding and target designator systems for the military.
