Assembly, Integration
& Testing
Within a 350 m² ISO 7 & 5 cleanroom, AMOS designs and manufactures high-precision optical components from fabrication through final integration. Using diamond turning techniques, we produce flat, curved, and freeform mirrors, and diffraction gratings that combine aberration correction and dispersion in a single element, as well as high-precision slits for compact spectrometers and specialized sensors.
Among the few companies in Europe capable of producing freeform multi-blazed gratings, we deliver optical sub-systems that meet the strictest requirements of space, astronomy, and instrumentation programmes.
Optical-grade
Mirror polishing
We figure and polish mirrors and optical substrates in materials ranging from glass-ceramics and aluminum to silicon carbide, for astronomy, space, laboratories, and demanding industrial applications.
Surfaces can be spherical, aspherical, or free-form, with accuracy and roughness levels compatible with demanding imaging, beam-shaping, or metrology systems.
Components are delivered fully finished and tested, with coating or lightweighting when required, ready for integration into instruments or production equipment.
Diamond-machined
Optical components
To support compact spectrometers and specialized sensors, AMOS uses diamond-turning techniques to engrave gratings on polished substrates and produce high-precision slits.
These enable flat, curved, or free-form diffraction gratings that combine aberration correction and dispersion in a single component, reducing instrument size while maintaining performance. Slits can be straight or curved, with high accuracy and precise edge definition.
Multi-blazed profiles can be produced for wide spectral coverage or specific efficiency, making these elements suitable for demanding scientific and industrial optics.
Precision Optical Mirrors
Large lightweight mirrors
AMOS designs and manufactures lightweight mirrors in various geometries and sizes for telescopes and space instruments, from 1 cm parts to primary mirrors up to 2.6 m in diameter.
Our teams handle the full processing workflow, from optical design support and blank procurement through machining, figuring, polishing, coating and final testing.
Each mirror is characterized and qualified to ensure it meets the rigorous optical specifications and the environmental constraints of its mission.
