We provide a wide variety of optical filters, coated optics, and replicated mirrors for Aerospace & Defense applications. Our product list includes coated optics for thermal imaging systems, filters for laser rangefinder / target designator systems, replicated mirrors for armored vehicle vision systems, coated optics for naval aviation operations, filters for battlefield biohazard detection, coated optics for laser safety, and more.

Partnering with our optics fabrication operations in Irvine, CA, we manufacture coated optics for infrared applications in the SWIR & MWIR bands. Working with Germanium, Silicon, Zinc Sulfide, and other infrared transmitting materials, we fabricate high-precision plano, spherical, and aspherical optics and apply a wide range of optical coatings including Anti-Reflection, Narrow and Wide Bandpass, Edge, and Notch coatings.

In the UV and Visible spectral bands, we manufacture many different types of optical filters and coatings using our patented Stabilife® coating technology. For laser-based applications, we supply narrow bandpass filters at commonly used NIR wavelengths for rangefinders and target designators and laser safety coatings for magnified and unity day-view vision systems. Our High Performance Fluorescence filters are a key enabling technology for remote detection of pathogens. Enhancing the safety of naval aviators operating under night-vision conditions, our night-vision compatible coatings provide visibility of the landing area while eliminating radiation that could cause detector-saturation. These coatings are a testament to the durability of Stabilife® products, withstanding prolonged exposure to severe marine environments.

Our Replicated Mirrors are key components in armored vehicle vision systems, providing the high durability required in battlefield conditions, coupled with the cost/performance value that the replication process routinely delivers. Taking advantage of light-weighting opportunities afforded by our replication process, our replicated mirrors are a key contributor to manufacturing optical systems with reduced mass, supporting the overall goal of improved fuel efficiency of military vehicles.

As a supplier to major defense contractors, we maintain the quality and logistics systems required to support the critical requirements of the defense procurement community.

Newport's Corion businesses have designed and manufactured a wide variety of optical filters and replicated mirrors for OEMs providing equipment and instruments for a widely diverse set of industrial applications.

Newport's Corion optical filters and replicated mirrors can be found in countless research laboratories around the world enabling basic and applied research in the wide range of science that can be influenced by light. We offer a wide range of catalog filters including bandpass filters with bandwidths as narrow as 1 nm and as wide as 70 nm, long and short wave pass filters, neutral density filters, colored-glass filters, dichroic filters, and fluorescence filters. Most of these filters are offered in 1 inch diameter or 2 inch square sizes.

From our Replicated Mirrors product line, we provide Hollow Metal Retro-reflectors in a wide variety of sizes and return-beam accuracy values as well as offerings of Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors and Reflective Microscope Objectives. All of these products are maintained in inventory for rapid delivery.

In addition to our catalog products supporting the Research community, we work with engineers and scientists to develop custom products to satisfy specific non-standard filter and mirror requirements. These custom products are often the first step in the development of a new instrument that will eventually move into the market for commercial use.
