As a worldwide dominant provider of optical and opto-mechanical components, Knight Optical UK Ltd are now a leader in supplying high quality lenses, windows, filters and light guides to the Therapeutic Laser sector.
Knight Optical have a wealth of experience in providing custom components made to their clients’ unique bespoke drawings or specifications. The range of lenses that are used to focus the laser beam include planoconvex, biconvex, planoconcave, biconcave, meniscus and aspheric and can be manufactured in various materials including; BK7, Borofloat and sapphire. Also available are colour glass filters operating at specific wavebands usually in Visible and NIR to prevent unwanted light from passing through. Optical windows and light guides can be made in a variety of materials including BK7, sapphire and Fused Silica. Anti Reflective coatings can be applied to any of these products to reduce the light lost in the therapeutic laser system.
Knight Optical believe there is great importance in the quality of optical components to improve Low Level Laser Therapy instrument performance. Therefore, each component is extensively tested using the latest metrology equipment and a team of skilled QA inspectors.
Run by highly trained expert technicians, the testing and inspection department includes state of the art metrology equipment to ensure ISO9001 standards are met. A Trioptics Optispheric with Wavesensor Reflex is used to test all lens parameters including focal length, modulation transfer function, radius of curvature, flange length, diameter, centre thickness and edge thickness. A Fisba interferometer allows measurement of flatness and single and double sided wave front form error and provides precise reports, data and certification of the characteristics of optical surfaces. A Varian Cary 5000 spectrophotometer is also used to test transmission/reflection specifications over 175-3000nm. For more information visit our website.
