Complete Optical Solutions from Mid-UV to LWIR
Complete Optical Solutions from Mid-UV to LWIR Your trusted supplier of optical components and solutions, PG&O provides simple float glass windows/mirrors to sophisticated optics such as prisms, wedges, flats, cube beam splitters, and integrator rods. We specialize in precision thin-film coatings, including metals and dielectric, and offer finished infrared and durable sapphire optics; wavelengths available between 0.2 to 15 microns with sizes ranging from 0.040” to 30”. Come by booth # 4835 to learn more.

We are thrilled to, once again, join more than 20,000 fellow researchers, innovators, and engineers at the world’s largest photonics technologies event, Photonics West.  
   
What’s your day one looking like? Learning the most cutting-edge research in biomedical optics, biophotonics, industrial lasers, optoelectronics, microfabrication, MOEMS-MEMS, displays, and quantum technologies? Or are you listening to one of the nearly 30 plenary speakers or taking advanced training in one of almost 60 available courses?  
   
Whatever it is you’re doing, we hope you're having fun. We sure are, out on the floor, talking with the industry’s movers and shakers.
