OPO | Optical metrology instruments

Welcome on the website of OPO, manufacturer of reflectometers and scatterometers for the monitoring of telescope's mirror coatings.

Our reflectometers / scatterometers CT7 and CT7a are benchmarks in the field, they are the improved successors of the highly regarded Iris instrument. All these instruments were conceived and developed by Dr Sc Daniel Malaise - for those with a good memory, OPO was previously known as DMO Optical Solutions.

We are a small research and development workshop exclusevely specialized in producing the most accurate reflectometers and scatterometers for the quality monitoring of telescope mirror's coatings.

As of january 2021, the new Cherenkov version of the CT7 reflectometer scatterometer is available, with highly accurate measurements of reflectivity at wavelength bands down to 308nm, especially developed at the request of institutes studying the Cherenkov radiations.

This is our homepage, here we will share the last news about our products, updates about our day to day activities and information on our projects.

For other topics, such as detailed information on our reflectometers / scatterometers, use the menu at the top of all pages to navigate the website. There are 4 main sections in addition to this homepage: Reflectometers / scatterometers, Science lovers blog, About us and Contact / support.

We hope that you can easily find all the information you need on this website. Feel free to contact us directly if you have any question or interest. If you are a CT7 user already, you can access the Support section with your credentials.
