Quik Mod Program
Edmund Optics® QUIK MOD PROGRAM allows for rapid turnaround of modified catalog optical components for orders of 10 pieces or less. Need a 22mm diameter PCX lens for your R & D project but can only find a 25mm diameter in the catalog? Need it in 2 weeks instead of the 4-6 weeks quoted by others? Edmund Optics will edge down a standard catalog part and apply metal coating, AR coating or edge blackening for small prototype orders of 1-10 pieces. Formal quotations will be provided in 24 hours (though most can be quoted over the phone). Typical delivery is 2 weeks after receipt of order. Contact our Technical Support Department for complete details.
Edge Down Service
Edge Down an EO catalog optic to a Smaller Diameter
- Applies to components up to 50.8mm in diameter
- Applies for removal of 0.5mm to 4mm of material
- Smallest end diameter is 5mm
- Scratch-Dig = 80/50 within CA
- Clear Aperture (CA) = 75% of end diameter
- Centration = 50µm (Full angle TIR)
Edge-Blackening
Edge-blackened optics are designed to increase contrast and reduce noise in imaging and electro-optical systems. The blackened edges prevent light from exiting a mounted optic, reflecting off the metal fixturing, and being re-imaged through the optical assembly.
Metal Coating Service
Apply a Standard Metal Coating to an Uncoated Catalog Optic
| Protected Aluminum | UV Enhanced Aluminum | Enhanced Aluminum | Protected Gold |
- Optic must be 5mm to 50.8mm diameter (or length for square parts)
- Contact us for inquiries on parts larger than 50.8mm diameter
- Customer Supplied parts do not qualify for this program
AR Coating
Apply a Standard AntiReflection Coating to an Uncoated Catalog Optic
Single Layer MgF2 (at any design wavelength) or
Single Layer MgF2 (@550nm) R(ave) ≤ 1.75% from 400-700nm (BK7)
| VIS 0° | R(ave) ≤ 0.4% from 425-675nm |
| NIR I |
R(ave) ≤ 0.5% from 600-1050nm |
| VIS-NIR |
R(abs) ≤ 0.25% @ 880nm R(ave) ≤ 1.25% from 400-870nm R(ave) ≤ 1.25% from 890-1000nm |
| UV-VIS |
R(abs) ≤ 1.0% from 350-450nm |
| Telecom-NIR |
R(abs) ≤ 0.25% from 1295-1325nm |
- Optic must be 5mm to 50.8mm diameter (or length for square parts)
- Contact us for inquiries on parts larger than 50.8mm diameter
- Customer Supplied parts do not qualify for this program
Glass Cutting Service
Glass Cutting Service allows customer to cut an off-the-shelf EO supplied window, filter or mirror down to a smaller size or obtain multiple pieces (of identical dimension) from a larger part.*
- Dimensional tolerances are based on part thickness
- Customer supplied parts do not qualify for this program
*Some Items can not be cut down due to their design properties. Contact our Application Engineering Department today to discuss your requirements.
