There are many factors which contribute to the successful manufacture of vacuum windows. The understanding and use of cutting-edge technology, quality control via state-of-the-art metrology tools, and understanding of material properties are all critical to their design and manufacture.

Learn how Zygo has partnered with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to help create clean energy. Zygo worked closely with LLNL to develop optical manufacturing processes that support high-volume production of meter-class, laser-grade optics for the NIF laser. Such optics include amplifier slabs, turning mirrors, vacuum windows, continuous phase plates, gratings,...

Surface roughness plays a critical role in the functionality and durability of precision components. When a surface is rough, it increases friction between parts, leading to more wear over time. This roughness can also reduce lubrication effectiveness, which can result in faster component degradation and reduced efficiency. Learn the tools to measure just the roughness o...
