Optical Manufacturing
Assembly, Integration & Testing

This in-house optical production capability supports demanding instruments across our domains.

Inside our workshops and cleanrooms, raw materials become flight-ready optical components built to perform where it matters most.

Our way of working

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.

Mirror polishing

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.
