The IDG has developed optical systems for ground-based and space-based instruments, from design through final testing. Our expertise spans wavelengths from the far-ultraviolet through the infrared.

Capabilities:

• Optical system design
• Precision component design
• Ray trace analysis [ZEMAX]
• Specification of fabrication and alignment tolerances
• Production of detailed fabrication drawings
• Management of component and system procurement
• Assembly, alignment, and testing (including interferometry)
• Metal and diamond-turned optics
• Cryogenic and vacuum optical systems
