Our team of optical engineers are ready to work with you
At Wasatch Photonics, our optical and manufacturing engineers work closely with R&D and OEM customers to develop transmission gratings optimized for their exact requirements. By understanding design parameters and price/performance trade-offs, we draw on 25 years of experience to deliver high-quality, high-performance gratings customized and AR-coated for each application.
This collaborative approach helps shorten product development cycles and reduce upfront NRE costs, making Wasatch a valuable partner for custom grating development.
Our team of optical and process engineers love nothing more than designing gratings in partnership with our customers. Combining decades of VPH grating design experience with a passion for problem solving the Wasatch grating designers look forward to discussing your applications needs.
Integrating OEM design with ISO-certified manufacturing ensures that our high-performance VPH gratings meet the rigorous quality standards required for OCT, spectroscopy and laser manufacturing applications.
By adhering to ISO 9001:2015 standards, Wasatch implements a strict quality management system that guarantees traceability, process consistency and continuous improvement from the initial design review through to final inspection.
The fundamental design specification defines the grating’s core parameters (spectral range, bandwidth, blaze wavelength and spatial frequency), while performance requirements establish targets for diffraction efficiency, polarization sensitivity and wavefront error. Once agreed, these specifications enable the next stage of development.
Our optical designers model the optimal grating design, accounting for polarization and high-angle diffraction. Trade-off studies of glass type, film thickness and refractive index modulation establish the manufacturing parameters. Successful completion leads to the first customer purchase order.
This stage incorporates customer feedback on the initial gratings’ performance and suitability for the instrument. Successful approval leads to a volume purchase order commitment and transition to volume manufacturing.
Under our ISO-accredited procedures, the manufacturing process is finalized and quality requirements are jointly verified with the customer. With customers ordering hundreds to thousands of custom VPH gratings annually, Wasatch is a trusted high-volume OEM manufacturer.
