Frequently asked questions
Short answers for the questions that show up on almost every RFQ call. For a formal path on a part number, use the quote form with drawings attached.
What does Quantum Optx manufacture?
Precision optical materials, fabricated components and thin-film coatings across UV, visible and infrared — from fused silica and N-BK7 through silicon, germanium, ZnSe, ZnS, chalcogenide and copper mirrors — for medical, industrial laser and sensing OEM programs.
Do you support production volumes?
Yes. We optimise for repeat production: locked recipes, coating performance hold, yield control and inventory-based fulfilment on recurring part numbers — not only first articles.
Can you coat customer-supplied optics?
Yes. Finished, uncoated optics can be submitted for coating-only service after incoming inspection of surface quality, figure and coating compatibility. Only qualified parts proceed.
What should I include in an RFQ?
Material (or band if open), wavelengths or laser lines, dimensions and tolerances, surface quality, coating prescription, quantity and drawings or STEP files when available. Power density and environment help when laser or outdoor use is in play.
How do I match a wavelength to a substrate?
Use the Spectral Explorer to drag your line across 0.12–25 µm and see which of the twelve stocked substrates transmit (or reflect, for copper). Confirm grade-specific datasheets before design freeze — explorer ranges are selection guides.
How fast do you respond?
We aim to respond to complete RFQs within one to two business days. Complex multi-band coating stacks may need extra engineering review before a firm price and lead time.
