OpTIC
Glyndwr Innovations Ltd has a purpose built centre for commercially exploiting electro-optic
technology – called OpTIC - based in St. Asaph, North Wales U.K..
OpTIC designs and develops prototypes, new processes and “first build” products for industry. Offering Europe’s largest specialised industrial scale facilities we develop cutting-edge technology with an unparalleled array of highly specialist equipment within our 2000m2 of laboratory space. Working with on site academia as well as dedicated scientists and engineers, we can help you take your technology to market faster.
Our core technology includes:
Micro-precision engineering - nano-scale polishing of large substrates such as lenses, mirrors and flats (from 500mm up to 2.0m) using newly developed abrasive pad and fluid jet polishing technologies. This promises to revolutionise the industry by achieving greater accuracy at up to 6 times the speed of conventional techniques.
Micro-precision engineering - structured patterned drums in both copper and nickel plating. Our unique drum diamond turning machine gives you the opportunity to replicate patterns/shapes/structures to tolerances and designs unparalleled in the world
Solar Energy Research - carrying out both fundamental research on photovoltaic (PV) materials and applied research on industrial processes for PV manufacture and exploitation of advanced thin film materials. We also have experience of sensor device development, testing and systems integration.
Holography - world renowned for its holographic expertise, facilities here include precision optic labs with RGB laser operation capability.
Lasers - design and assembly of customised stable Nd: pulsed lasers and printers for full-colour holography
Polymerisation Reaction Engineering - supports emerging electro-optic applications with novel polymers, and Reactive Injection Moulding and Reactive Extrusion machines.
Optical Systems Consultancy - optical lens/mirror design, opto-mechanical design, and prototype manufacture.
