Perkins Precision Developments (PPD) manufactures
custom laser optics,
precision
optical assemblies, and high LDT thin film coatings for R&D, prototype, and OEM applications. PPD's optical fabrication,
ion-beam sputtering (IBS) coating processes, and precision assembly techniques enable us to provide total optics solutions to specific and unique customer requirements.
Our low overhead structure and production flexibility are
designed to maximize both quality and value to our customers. Target
applications include semi-conductor test and inspection equipment, high energy
laser systems, materials processing, medical instrumentation,
telecommunications, aerospace, security, and defense.
Typical components that are manufactured in-house include
high energy
laser mirrors,
spherical
lenses, precision
prisms, thin film plate
polarizers, dichroic beamsplitter mirrors, and polarizing
beam splitter cubes. Materials that we work with include Fused Silica, N-BK7,
Infrasil, Suprasil, Zerodur, ULE, YAG, Sapphire, Silicon, Color Filter Glasses, and a variety of Laser High Index Glasses.
PPD utilizes IBS coating technology which is ideal for
complex spectral designs, high power lasers, and applications where it is
critical to minimize losses from absorption and scatter. Coatings are available
for wavelengths from 350nm to 3000nm and include V-coat AR, BBHR, HR, Dual-HR, dichroic, trichroic, beam splitting, and polarizing designs.
Established in 2009 and located just 30 minutes north of
Denver, PPD is a progressive company with extensive experience in optics
manufacturing. The company resides in a 7,000 square foot facility with a class
10,000 clean room. We have a full range of shaping, grinding, polishing,
assembly, and coating equipment that allows us to offer precision optical
components and assemblies in a wide variety of materials, shapes, and sizes.
Let us make your requirements a reality!
