    Large Optics (Large Diameter Optics) are optical elements exceeding 100mm in diameter. They excel in delivering high precision image quality even in challenging conditions, redefining photography and videography. Large diameter optics from Avantier are used in high quality imaging applications such as telescopes and satellite communication. Large optical prisms and optical domes cater to a wide spectrum of optical needs, from clarity to high precision and versatility to specific wavelength transmission. Please consult Avantier for custom specifications or an off the shelf product.

    In certain applications, especially large optical components such as mirrors, beam splitters, optical flats, windows, lenses, or diffraction gratings, custom optics become essential. These components are often produced to meet unique specifications due to their limited usage and specialized requirements. Conversely, there are commonly used elements like household mirrors and illumination lenses that demand lower quality standards and simpler, cost-effective manufacturing processes. 

    While Avantier offers a wide range of products, here are specific specifications to provide insight into our production capabilities in this domain.

    Large Optical Lenses: Avantier specializes in crafting a variety of large optical lenses, including spherical, aspherical, and other types, enhancing low-light performance and widening apertures for exceptional results. Prioritizing outstanding optical quality, we minimize aberrations, delivering impressive, professional images. Additionally, we offer large-sized OAP mirrors and domes, meeting diverse customer needs. Engineered for high precision, durability, and innovation, our large lenses feature image stabilization and special coatings.
    Large Optical Mirrors: Avantier’s precision large reflector mirrors are high-quality, large optical surfaces used for efficient reflection in applications like telescopes, satellite communication, and more. They come in varying sizes, materials, and require precision manufacturing. These mirrors enhance reflection through coatings and are vital in capturing and focusing light or radiation. Their challenges include size and precision maintenance, and ongoing research aims to improve materials and manufacturing techniques.
    Large Optical Prisms: Avantier’s Large Prism are manufacture in materials such as glass, metal, crystal, and plastic variants, each tailored for specific applications. Glass for clarity, metal for durability, crystal for precision, and plastic for cost-effectiveness. All feature a 99.90% reflective coating, enhancing light control.

    Large Optical Domes: Avantier’s Optical Domes are manufactured in various sizes, including diameters over 100 mm, and offer custom shapes. They selectively transmit specific light wavelengths, with options for visible and ultraviolet light. Materials like BK7, fused silica, acrylic, sapphire, and more cater to different needs, from camera systems to infrared applications. Avantier’s domes excel in versatile viewing directions, minimizing beam deflection and allowing high-performance anti-reflection coatings.
