Optical Surfaces Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of top-quality toroidal mirrors for spectroscopic and imaging applications.
Toroidal mirrors are aspheric mirrors where the curvature of orthogonal horizontal and vertical axes is different. For optical products where a small, focused spot is needed, toroidal mirrors combine focusing and beam folding capabilities in a single element. This improves energy throughput, saving money, and allows for more compact designs. Toroidal mirrors also correct for the astigmatism that results when a spherical mirror is used off axis.

Leveraging a highly stable production facility – Optical Surfaces has decades of experience of manufacturing toroidal mirrors from BK7, Zerodur and fused silica with surface accuracy up to λ/10 and surface quality of 10:5 scratch dig. The company’s skilled optical technicians are experienced in producing toroidal mirrors in a range of shapes with dimensions up to 500 mm. An extensive range of high reflectance coatings are available.
Optical Surfaces Ltd. has been producing optical components and systems for leading academic and industrial research groups for more than 60 years. The company’s ISO 9001-2015 approved manufacturing workshops and test facilities are deep underground in a series of tunnels excavated in solid chalk where temperature remains constant, and vibration is practically non-existent. With such stable conditions testing, particularly with long path lengths, becomes quantifiable and reliable. Working with these natural advantages is a highly skilled team of craftsmen with a commitment to excellence in both product quality and customer service.
