optical nanostructures

Access Optics offers nanoscale devices in two- and three-dimensional configurations that address applications from traditional reticles to sophisticated MEMS components and electro-optical elements:
Optical Nanostructures
  • Reticles: Catalog and Custom
  • Metallized Windows and Solderable Films
  • Test Patterns
  • Targets
  • Alignment and Calibration Grids
  • Scales
  • Calibration Cells
  • Reflective, Transmissive and Emissive Reference
  • Standards

With significant technology and expertise in photopolymers and thin film coatings, we also design and develop complex structures involving numerous patterned layers and three-dimensional microfeatures including detector materials and fluorescent compounds.

Access Optics' products involve an unlimited selection of substrates -- glass, sapphire, fused silica, metals, plastics; a wide variety of coatings and thin films -- metals (chrome, gold, silver, inconel, iron oxide), visible and infrared coatings; and features to submicron geometries involving liftoff, etching, or ion milling.

We maintain thriving R+D partnerships with academic institutions. The combination of our photolithography capabilities and work with advanced nanodetectors are expected to yield exciting new product innovations such as lab on a chip detectors and arrays. Integrating these developments with our expertise in miniature optics and assemblies presents unique opportunities to design and develop in vivo imaging/diagnostic instruments.
