OPCO Laboratory was founded over 30 years ago by a spectroscopist from Jarrell-Ash to serve the atomic spectroscopy community with ultraviolet coatings for gratings and mirrors. Today, with a full-time spectroscopist on staff, OPCO remains a leading provider of custom components to researchers and engineers, and a major supplier to many of the largest spectrometer manufacturers. OPCO is a fully integrated manufacturing operation with optical design services available, which is why we can take your sketch and ship your prototype quickly. Our proprietary replication process, clean room assembly areas, and metrology capabilities ensure we can manufacture and assemble cost effective solutions to your optical needs.
OPCO Laboratory is a leading provider of custom optical components and assemblies for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications including: atomic and molecular spectroscopy, semiconductors, astronomy, high energy physics, medical devices, aerospace, and defense.
