ABOUT US
Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O®) is an industry leader in complete turnkey optical solutions for operation in the 0.2 µm (UV) to 10 µm (IR) spectrum. We provide precision and commercial components, thin film coatings, and complete fabrication services. Our specialized optical thin film coatings operate in a wide wavelength range on optics ranging in size from 0.059 inches to 30 inches diameter.
With our extensive in-house glass materials and coated substrates inventory, we offer unparalleled fast service on a wide variety of optical materials, including mirrors, windows, micro sheets, and glass. We are expert in glass fabrication and assembled optics ranging from square, rectangular, and circular parts to sophisticated and complex shapes for industries such as military/defense, biophotonics, life sciences, avionics, solar, digital cinema, imaging, displays, homeland security, medical, and more.
Ask about our new finished infrared optics and our highly durable sapphire optics for mission-critical applications. We also provide a unique re-polishing service that can salvage previously fabricated thin-film optics. This proprietary process can save an optics manufacturer time and money by replacing a dielectric coating that has been damaged during the manufacturing process or one that does not meet specifications.
Since 1985, PG&O has been developing specialized solutions for precision and commercial applications globally. From our 18,000 sq. ft. optical manufacturing facility in Santa Ana, California, we deliver a broad array of products from flats, prisms, beamsplitters, to precision thin film coatings, including dichroic, dielectric, and metal.
PG&O's quality control (QC) system utilizes the fundamentals of MIL-I-45208A as well as the optical manufacturing disciplines of MIL-PRF-13830B. We are fully equipped to handle many types of custom optics, from prototype through high-volume production. Our quality system is compliant with ISO 9002; we maintain these and other QC principles to meet and/or exceed customer requirements.
Privately-held, we emphasize highest quality, durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness to meet our customer's strictest deadlines, product specifications, and budgets. Our friendly executive team and staff of engineering experts are available to answer your questions about precision thin film coatings, glass fabrication, and custom or commercial optical solutions.
