OUR PRODUCT RANGEMAXIMIZING YOUR EXPECTATIONS


PROJECTSMAXIMUM KNOWLEDGE


Projects are implemented in-house using professional project management methods.

Our customers receive regular project status reports and are involved in key decisions.

All related documentation is compiled according to the customer‘s needs.

ENGINEERINGMAXIMUM INNOVATION


All engineering steps are performed internally.

Our profound knowledge of coating and optical/mechanical design is the result of decades spent successfully implementing a variety of sophisticated projects for diverse clients, each demanding maximum quality.

OPTICS, FROM UV TO IRMAXIMUM RANGE


Since the day of our founding, WZW has produced some of the world’s finest ultra-high-precision optics. From close angle tolerances, to surface-polishing with peerless quality and

passing, we utilize the latest CNC technology to manufacture optics in all forms and contours.

OPTICS, FROM UV TO IRMAXIMUM RANGE


Size:0.3 - 450 mm

Angle tolerance:<0.5 arc sec

Thickness tolerance:±0.2µm

Beam splitters, prisms, assemblies, OEM products, high-end products

SUPER POLISHINGMAXIMUM FINISH


We are the only company in Europe offering polishing processes in the sub-Ångström region.

This comes with precisions of less than a ten-millionth of a millimeter.

IBS COATINGMAXIMUM PRECISION


Using Ion Beam Sputtering, we offer high-precision reproduciblecoatings at low process temperatures.

We carry out the entire process in-house from our new, state-of-the-art IBS plant.

IBS COATINGMAXIMUM PRECISION


Dense, highly stable thin-films

Very low absorption

Very low scattered light in combination with WZWOPTICAG‘s super polished substrates

Highest reflectivity: R > 99.999 %

Minimum defect densities due to optional mask-less deposition and shutter-less operation

ASSEMBLIES & SYSTEMMAXIMUM EFFICIENCY


We manufacture assemblies in clean rooms certified up to ISO 5.

We support our customers with analysis, simulation, planning, and construction of prototypes, along with model calculation.

We also carry out smaller, customized serial productions.
