Bullseye® Apodizing filters radially modify beam distribution in optical systems. Standard Gaussian or customized filters inserted in line with a light source reduce undesirable intensity variations. Configurations include both dark-in-the-center, typically used to reduce low frequency variations or to create top-hat wave fronts, and clear-in-the-center functions, typically used to reduce high frequency variations outside of the main beam profile.
Using a proprietary thin-film deposition process, Reynard produces custom Bullseye® Apodizing optical components tailored to customer-specified intensity distribution profiles. Coating designs are optimized to account for substrate material, size, uniformity variations, and spectral bandwidth requirements, ensuring precise optical performance across the intended operational range.
Linear Apodizing filters are also available! Prototypes to volume production. ISO9001:2015, ITAR, and Cybersecurity (CMMC).
