Metal Optics Processing

L.A. Gauge’s metal optics polishing capabilities are second to none for prototype and production orders. Using planetary polishing processes and interferometric testing in a controlled environment, our expert opticians achieve superior flatness on a wide variety of geometrical shapes and sizes.

The L.A. Gauge optics laboratory traditionally manufactures metal optic mirrors to demanding flatness tolerances of 1/10 of a wave over a 10-inch diameter face and a surface finish to 20-10.
