Edmund Optics® QUIKMOD 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.

- Optic must be 5mm to 50.8mm diameter (or length for square parts)
- Contact us for inquiries on parts larger than 50.8mm diameter
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.*
- Optics must be 5mm to 300mm (Round or Rectangular)
- Applies to Coated and Uncoated Optics
- Dimensional tolerances are based on part thickness
*Some Items can not be cut down due to their design properties. Customer supplied parts do not qualify for this program. Contact our Application Engineering Department today to discuss your requirements.
