Parabolic Reflectors

    Optiforms design engineering and manufacturing operation provides precise electroformed and optical products to the lighting, aerospace, military, industrial and opto-electronics markets. Optiforms optical reflector products are manufactured to the highest tolerances for maximum physical and operational performance. We can easily customize nearly any stock or custom electroform to meet your system specifications from ultraviolet through the visible spectrum and into the infrared region in addition to your non-optical mechanical assemblies. Our integrated operation can supply you with the application of a large selection of thin film coatings for these products, utilizing electro-deposition techniques as your production partner. Optiforms can help you if your application requires a supplier of precision, rugged and economical reflector assemblies with thin film coating capability.

Standard Thin Film Coatings by Category:

    An electroformed parabolic reflector is a parabola-shaped reflective device, used to collect or distribute energy such as light. Electroformed parabolic reflectors are used to collect energy from a distant source and bring it to a common focal point, thus correcting spherical aberration found in simpler spherical reflectors. Since the principles of reflection are reversible, Optiforms parabolic reflectors can also be used to project energy of a source at its focus outward in a parallel beam, used in devices such as spotlights and car headlights.

    Custom CA and V DIA dimensions other than those listed are easily accomplished by fabricating prescribed process tooling at a nominal fee.

    Stock reflectors are coated with electro-deposited bright rhodium. Custom vacuum or electro-deposited coatings are also available for specialized applications.



If you do not see your dimensional requirements in our standard parabolic reflectors, contact our Sales Department for assistance.
