About Us
Headquartered in Santa Ana, California, OptoSigma continues to provide the photonics industry with the finest laser grade optics, optical coatings and hardware to the domestic USA and over 20 international agents. The keys to their success are global manufacturing, consistent product performance and availability, price and delivery, and good old-fashioned customer service.
OptoSigma is part of the Sigma Koki Manufacturing Group of seven global manufacturing facilities. The company's primary manufacturing is done in Japan, while custom design work and global catalog component distribution is handled from Santa Ana, CA.

OptoSigma was founded in 1995 as a joint venture between several industry veterans and Japan-based parent company Sigma Koki. It was founded on the basic principle of providing the best service and product value in the industry. The company began modestly, with its first catalog in 1995 being 152 pages. Today, the 2006-2007 catalog, the company's fifth, is over 400 pages, with over 5000 products. The Santa Ana facility has the added value of custom thin film coating manufacturing with Ion-Assist Deposition and Advanced Plasma Source Ion-Assist Deposition, which produce dense, durable and very robust AR and HR coatings.
OptoSigma optics are fabricated at one of the seven facilities of Sigma Koki in Japan. Volume throughput and Japanese manufacturing techniques provide high quality, low-cost optics for most catalog and OEM applications.
OptoSigma Engineering Experts
Sr Mechanical engineer Clayton Summers,
formerly of Melles Griot and Newport
Corp, offers customer support to one who
knows what he wants to achieve, but not
exactly what equipment he needs to
accomplish it. That may mean modification
of an off-the-shelf product, or building a
system together with the customer.
Andrew Clawson, formerly of OCLI - JDSU, is at the helm of the optical engineering and coatings departments. He has design capability, coating capability, and a fully competent optics-applications engineering background to offer OptoSigma customers.
An Industry Exclusive
OptoSigma's "secret weapon" for the
past eight years, is its high-performance
TSD extended contact stages, used for any
precision application, such as positioning
components in a laser path. Made of hardened
tool steel and with very few moving
parts, they are very low-profile, precise and
rugged. The vacuum-compatible TSD
stages, used in ultraclean environments —
are vacuum-ready right out of the box. The
micrometers have no paint — they come
ready to go in vacuum chambers.
OptoSigma's ‘Specialty'
OptoSigma's specialty is its custom optical
coatings. Manufactured within a class-1000 cleanroom designed for cleaning,
loading, and inspecting optics both catalog
or customer supplied, all components are
carefully inspected before and after coating.
This environment is virtually particulate-free. High performance coatings from 190
nm to 3 microns are provided in Ion-Assist
Deposition chambers and Advanced Plasma Source Ion-Assist chambers.
OptoSigma is actively investing in its future to give the company greater visibility in the domestic US and international distribution by 2010.
"The philosophy behind the successful growth of our business has been communication. We pride ourselves on listening to what our customers ask for. There are many companies in our industry who think that they know what customers want and manufacture products only to find out that they missed the mark. Our philosophy is ... listen... and provide the customer with products that meet their requirements and needs. By providing people what they are asking for, we create a partnership that is long lasting and mutually beneficial."
