Application: Laboratory Optical Calibration System
Component Type: Large-Aperture Parabolic Mirror
Size: 508 mm Diameter
Surface Accuracy: Peak-to-Valley < 1/8 Wave

A leading research institution approached us with a custom request for a large optical component—a high-precision parabolic mirror measuring 508 mm in diameter. The optical system required ultra-precise surface accuracy and exceptional structural stability for use in a laboratory calibration environment.

Manufacturing such a large mirror involved advanced polishing techniques, custom edge processing, and specialized metrology equipment. Our team used large-format fabrication systems and designed custom fixtures to maintain tight tolerances throughout production.

The result was a flawless, high-performance large optical mirror that met all specifications for accuracy, stability, and surface quality. It performed exactly as desired, demonstrating our capabilities in large-scale optical fabrication.
