An infrared interferometer used to monitor the quality of optical components and systems will be shown at Photonex along with a comprehensive display of diamond-turned components.

Precision-Optical Engineering (P-OE), part of the Precision Solutions business centre of MBDA UK, will be showing the Interfire II 3-5 interferometer and a comprehensive display of diamond-turned components at the Photonex Exhibition These include lenses, mirrors and mould tools, featuring complex non-spherical surfaces on a range of optical materials and metal alloys

On show on Stand C43 (Armstrong Optical), the Interfire 3-5 is part of the Interfire II family of infrared interferometers and is used to monitor the quality of optical components and systems in the 3-5 micron region of the spectrum.

Other instruments in the range operate at 10.6 micron, 9.2-10.7 microns tunable, 1.55 microns and 850nm.

The Interfire-II 3-5 may be used in production, quality control or research applications.

P-OE's diamond turning facility is one of the largest in the UK, containing five single point diamond turning lathes with a range of capacities.

Optical components up to 700mm diameter can be accommodated for the manufacture of large optics such as mirrors for applications in, for example, astronomy.
