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.

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...

Power Spectral Density (PSD) is a very useful concept when it comes to specifying many types of optics and has been proven to be a valuable metric in extreme application spaces such as laser fusion. This specification method can also be applied to demanding applications, high energy laser optics, particularly because it helps in understanding and managing the quality of ...
