Gooch and Housego unique superpolishing capabilities allow us to produce optics suitable for the extreme demands of X-ray and Synchrotron environments. Optical components for these applications must have very low scatter surfaces and our 1Å surface roughness components are ideal. The optics used in these systems are often tapered in shape and our shaping and cutting equipment can support these demands. Many of the components for these applications are made of silicon and we often have overstock on parts that we have manufactured. Contact us sales@goochandhousego.com to discuss details on our overstock inventory.
Typical Specifications:
- Sizes: Various rectangular and oblong to 18"
- Thickness: 1mm or greater
- Surface Figure: Better than 1/20 wave
- Surface Roughness: Better than 1Å
- Optical Coatings: Various reflective films including exotic metals (Platinum)
Please send us your drawings and specifications for X-ray and Synchrotron components and we will be pleased to provide a quotation. G&H (CA) is a premier supplier of high volume, high quality, ultraprecision components.
