Thanks to the power of fluid jet polishing, LightMachinery can meet extremely tight tolerances for thickness uniformity. FJP also enables us to create ultra-flat or arbitrary freeform optical surfaces - something that is simply impossible using conventional polishing technologies.

We specialize in working closely with our customers to produce components quickly and beyond your specifications. Our exclusive, patented Fluid Jet Polishing technology enables the team at LightMachinery to make ultra-uniform thickness, ultra-flat or arbitrary free form optics for optical correctors. The experience of the people at LightMachinery with tight tolerance optics is unique in breadth and scope. If you are looking for high quality optics then look no further. Our team of professionals is always ready to push the envelope of optical quality or make a quick piece for an R&D prototype. No job is too big or too small.

Apsheric Cylinder Lenses Aspheric cylindrical lenses, acylinders, are useful in laser beam shaping applications and have become a bit of a specialty at LightMachinery.

Created with FJP technology, this demonstrates our ability to make completely arbitrary shapes to very high precision.

This 1/2" air-spaced etalon spacer is shown along side an interferometric view of the same spacer. The spacers need to be made to etalon tolerances since the spacer determines the separation and tilt between the two end plates.

This unusual looking item is an optically contacted stepped phase mask. We called it "the layer cake".
