Cost-effective, off-the-shelf thin films are also available, including UV, IR, AR, BBAR, cold mirror plate, hot mirrors, aluminized mirrors, plate beamsplitters, ITO, MaxRs, and more.


According to President Dan Bukaty, Jr., "We are pleased to announce the anniversary of our 30th year in the photonics market. Still privately held, our company continues in the tradition my dad started - to be the 'go to precision optics company that gets the job done, on time and on budget, always going the extra mile for our customers."

With a large, in-house glass substrates inventory, PG&O can provide quick turnaround on a wide array of flats, prisms, and beamsplitters. The company also offers optical solutions and assemblies to meet custom requirements. A full range of cost-effective thin film filters feature anti-reflective, heat resistant, dichroic, dielectric, and metal for commercial and custom applications. Highly precise optical coatings can be designed and specified up to 24-inches diameter to meet exact angle and wavelength requirements for custom applications. Industries served include imaging, display, projection, scanning, defense, medical, aerospace, industrial instrumentation, and more.
