ACB Technology

REO utilizes our own Activated Covalent Bonding (ACB) technology, an adhesive free method of bonding optical components, to produce a wide array of monolithic optical assemblies, such as cube beamsplitters, x-cubes, and beam combiners and separators.  ACB delivers bond strength that approaches that of the bulk material, but unlike traditional gluing, introduces essentially no wavefront distortion.  Adhesive materials are also typically the weakest link in a beam delivery system in terms of laser damage, so the ACB approach substantially improves component laser damage resistance and operational lifetime. 

Think REO when you need:

• Low wavefront distortion
• High damage resistance
• High mechanical strength
• Immunity to temperature and humidity cycling
