Avantier Inc. excels in custom OAP mirror design and manufacturing for diverse applications. OAP mirrors are smaller and easier to integrate into optical systems with minimal obstruction, offering readily accessible focal points.

Cut off-center from the parent parabola, OAP mirrors have a displaced optical axis but share the same focal point. Coatings of gold or silver are applied to enhance reflectance and efficiency. Key specifications include offset angle, parent focal length, and effective focal length.

OAP mirrors are ideal when unobstructed access to the focal plane or a clear optical axis is required. Selection depends on off-axis angle, off-axis distance, and focal length, with a simple relationship between beam diameter and reflected focal length. Avantier Inc. offers various coatings and mounting options for visible and infrared applications.
