About Ophir Optronics

Ophir Optronics, a Newport corporation brand was founded in 1976, as an optical coating company that has grown and diversified into other areas. Ophir employs a highly-qualified staff of over 570 engineers, technicians and skilled workers. Our company products are sold worldwide through a distribution network that includes four fully certified calibration facilities and repair centers. The majority of Ophir’s laser measuring instrumentation line is exported and marketed by sales

representatives in more than 35 countries around the world, the largest markets being the USA, Europe and Japan.

About Newport

Newport® was established 45 years ago to create and manufacture solutions to support a newly formed laser industry and quickly became the leader in vibration control, motion control and photonic tools. Our passion is photonics, our vision is to continually advance the industry by integrating leading expertise and photonics tools to create the solutions that will enable research and manufacturing to advance and create new possibilities in the markets we serve. To empower this advancement Newport has become home to a comprehensive family of leading brands including: New Focus™ with 20 years of leadership in developing, manufacturing and delivering

innovative, high-performance, quality, and easy-to-use photonics. Oriel® Instruments, for 40 years, has been a pioneer in solutions for making and measuring light. Richardson Gratings™, for over 60 years, has been the gratings leader; delivering custom gratings and the largest breadth of off-the-shelf gratings. Spectra-Physics®, established 50 years ago, was a catalyst to a new industry as the first commercial laser company and today continues to lead laser innovation. And our newest addition, Ophir® founded in 1976, is a global leader in precision IR optics, laser measurement instrumentation and 3D non-contact measurement equipment.

Our Facilities

Sited in an impressive 10,400 sq.m. (112,500 sq.ft.) building in Jerusalem, Israel, Ophir’s main manufacturing and R&D facility is fully equipped for both the production and testing of laser measuring instrumentation, optical components and coatings. In addition, Ophir’s modern facilities have in-house capability for diamond turning, aspheric optics and electronic equipment

assembly. Our laser beam profiling activities are now centered at the Spiricon facility in Logan Utah and Photon.Inc facility in San Jose California, USA with complete design, manufacturing, testing and service facilities.

Ophir’s wide-ranging activities include:

ֺProduction of the most complete variety of laser measurement instrumentation in existence, both off-the shelf and OEM. Production of very high precision infrared and visible optical components: lenses, mirrors, metallic optics (spherical, aspherical and diffractive), windows, domes and prisms,

suitable for military (FLIR) and industrial (CO2) applications. Ophir, a qualified manufacturer for some of the world's leading suppliers of night vision equipment, is renowned for having developed some of the highest performing and most costeffective optical systems in the world.

ֺDesign and production of optical assemblies. Thin film optical coatings.

ֺNon-contact optical equipment for distance measurement and three-dimensional mapping of objects developed by Optimet, a company in which Ophir has a majority share. These devices are based on patented technology called Conoscopic Holography. Application include dentistry microelectronics, robotics, quality control and mechanical shops.

Laser Development

The history of laser development has been characterized by ever-increasing laser powers and energies and increasingly concentrated laser beams. Medical, industrial and scientific applications of these high power and energy density lasers require reliable and accurate measurement of power and energy.

Meters for relatively high powers and energies generally operate by measuring the heat deposited onto an absorbing element. The key to accurate and reliable measurement is the makeup of this absorbing surface. It must stand up to repeated use without degradation or change in calibration.

Laser sources are constantly growing in power, energy and beam concentration. Ophir has an ongoing program of development of durable absorbing surfaces that will continue to stand up to the most punishing laser sources as they grow in intensity and Ophir has some of the highest damage threshold absorbers in the industry.

Ophir - Spiricon - Photon brings the same leading edge innovation to laser beam profile measurement with its famous Pyrocam, its

in house designed SP and Nanoscan cameras and BeamGage software.

Ophir’s Laser Measurement Group products are used in three highly competitive and sophisticated fields: medical, industrial and research. Each of these areas is further divided into end users and OEMs.

Medical

Ophir is the largest producer of laser power and energy measurement equipment for the medical market, where Ophir's power measurement devices are incorporated into laser-

based instrumentation. Our products are vital to medical laser manufacturers and to the hospitals and doctors who are end-user laser purchasers.

Medical lasers cover the entire spectrum of wavelengths from the 193 nm excimer laser to the 10.6 micron CO2 laser where the main laser wavelengths are 193, 248, 532, 694, 755, 808, 1064, 2100, 2940 and 10600 nm. These lasers are used for general surgery, eye surgery, gynecology, ORL, dermatology and other applications.

They have outputs which start at mW and mJ on the low end going up to tens of joules and hundreds of watts at the high end. The trend in medical lasers is to progress to more powerful systems, especially in the dermatology field, and to introduce diode lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) sources instead of the traditional gas or solid state lasers.

Ophir has developed special equipment that can for the first time measure the output of IPL sources.

Regulating bodies such as the FDA in the USA require the manufacturers to have at least one channel of power or energy monitoring in each laser. Ophir’s high-quality OEM products provide an extraordinarily efficient answer to this requirement.

Industrial

Industrial laser customers include both laser manufacturers and laser users in job shops and factories. Ophir answers the needs of this market by providing measurement systems that have a high damage threshold and the ability to measure high repetition rates with high accuracy.

There are two main types of laser for industrial and material processing applications: the CO2 laser at 10.6 microns and the Nd YAG laser at 1.064 micron. These lasers are used for cutting, welding, trimming, marking and other functions on many types of material such as metal, wood, plastic, etc. They are characterized by their high power output, which ranges from

100W to 30kW, depending on the application. With its capabilities in power, energy and profile measurement, Ophir has developed many products for this market including an integrated Laser Beam Analyzer for industrial YAG lasers which measures beam profile, temporal profile, power and energy, all in one unit. A subset of the industrial market is the microelectronics industry, which uses excimer lasers for exposing the photoresist in the photolithography process. This process uses lasers with a short wavelength of 193 to 345 nm that operate at high repetition rate and high energy. The main factor influencing the component density possible on the microchip is the wavelength of the laser already used in the process, and therefore the trend is to progress to shorter wavelengths. Ophir has a range of unique products specified for the photolithography market, including off-the-shelf and OEM products.

RoHS

Almost all Ophir and Spiricon Laser measurement products are now RoHS compliant. The few products that are not RoHS are specified as such in the ordering information.
