At first glance, the decision to specify optics based on its wavefront quality or surface form may seem purely one of preference. One might be tempted to assume they are merely related to each other by a scale factor. However, this is not correct. One can convert between the two – but not by a simple scale factor like in a flat or spherical optic. It turns out that the decision can be quite important when one considers how precision optics are measured. It may surprise some people to know that interferometers measuring aspheres in typical test configurations do not measure surface form error at all – only wavefront error and there is no single scale factor that can extract surface error for an off-axis parabola. The consequence of incorrect scaling is that those specifying optical quality based on surface accuracy may not be getting the quality they believe.

The table below lists the information we’ll need to fully specify your OAP (no worries if you’re not sure about the specs. we can work it out with you). You can find information on definitions and other technical data under the “Specifications” and “Dimensions” tabs.

Specifying an OAP is key for ensuring that you get the performance you need. Our applications engineers will do this for you. In fact, we provide our customers with a free design service. We’ll produce a fully toleranced drawing for you and will work with your systems engineers to make sure the design gives you the performance you need for the best value. We also have a number of helpful technical notes to assist you in specifying an off-axis parabola yourself.

Metallic Coatings: Metals provide the most efficient means to enhancing the reflectivity of an optical mirror. Metallic coatings, are readily manufacturable, provide broadband performance and are less sensitive to incident angle, group velocity dispersion (GVD) and polarization than dielectric coatings. Due to high absorption, metallics, in general, often have lower laser damage threshold than dielectrics. Because metallic coatings are relatively soft, protective dielectric overcoat(s) are applied to enhance the metal’s durability, cleanability, and resistance to environmental damage. With proper care, protected metallic coatings can be cleaned with lens tissue and standard solvents.

Achieving the highest quality requires a comprehensive approach to mechanical design, optical quality, and mounting & alignment.

AOS offers multiple quality grade options depending on the application desired. These quality grades can differ significantly in price to allow customers to select the most affordable option for their application and budget. Conventional ways of specifying optical quality in aspheric optics often do not address mid-spatial error tolerances, which are key to predicting imaging quality.

The most common tolerances for specifying the optical quality of aspheric mirrors such as off axis parabolas are surface accuracy and reflected wavefront error. Surface error is the deviation of the surface from its perfect form. Wavefront error is the deviation of the resulting reflected or transmitted wavefront from its perfect shape.

In Mechanical design we incorporate datum surfaces that allow us to calibrate the off-axis angle, focal length, and clocking of the OAP to its parent axis. AOS, provides toleranced drawings to all of our customers free of charge. Optical Quality at AOS takes into consideration not just surface form error, but wavefront quality, gradient error, mid-spatial frequency tolerances, and relates the quality of the wavefront directly to the focus quality you can expect to receive. Finally, it doesn’t matter how good the OAP is, if it deforms in its mount, and you can’t optimize its alignment. Therefore, we provide Mounting Solutions with the alignment positioning resolution you need to optimize the performance of your mirror.

Multi-layer Dielectric Coatings (MLD): MLD coatings provide lower absorption reflectors than metallics, which can often result in higher laser damage resistance. MLD coatings can be tuned for very specific performance requirements for reflectors, partial reflectors, leaky mirrors, beamsplitters, polarization control coatings, and anti-reflective coatings. AOS, through our partner Okamoto Optics, provides standardized coatings for high-energy laser applications – but most MLD coatings are user specific. Please contact us for more details.

The need for powerful reflective optics operating over a broad bandwidth has motivated the development of off axis parabolas with higher imaging performance then ever before. Within the last five years everything about OAP’s has evolved – tolerances for quality and performance, manufacturing methods, testing methods, thin film coatings and alignment technologies. AOS has re-engineered the Off-Axis Parabola for today’s applications.
