Overview
LightPath Technologies, through its subsidiary ISP Optics, has been fabricating infrared windows for over 25 years. Manufactured in our ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR certified facility, LightPath uses multiple polishing techniques including double sided, continuous and pitch polishing. We offer a wide range of sizes, angles and thicknesses in addition to years of experience with a variety of materials. Our optical windows can provide even better performance with Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) or Antireflective (AR) coatings using our in-house CVD and PVD chambers. Every order contains QC documentation utilizing our extensive metrology capabilities.
