About Feinoptik Meyer
Feinoptik Meyer is a family-run precision optics company founded in 1960 and now in its third generation, based in Königs Wusterhausen near Berlin. The sole proprietorship manufactures optical precision products and technical glass items to drawing or CAD data – including planar optics such as optical windows, precision mirrors and prisms, individual lenses, optical filters and special components with no minimum order quantity. The machining processes include sawing, grinding, drilling, polishing, lapping, cutting and special machining using modern CNC systems and manually controlled finishing; all process steps are carried out in-house. Materials processed include fused silica, optical glass types, quartzes and optical salts, float glass, borosilicate glass, radiation protection glass and technical ceramics. Customers can be found among others in medical technology, research, instrument engineering, metrology, laser technology, sensor technology, mechanical engineering, laboratory technology, semiconductor manufacturing and optoelectronics; production is carried out for customers worldwide in single pieces, prototypes and small series.

Materials and Processes
Fused silica
High-purity silicon dioxide with broad transmission from UV to IR, high temperature and chemical resistance for laser technology, sensor technology and research.
Optical glass types
Common optical glasses from leading manufacturers for lenses, prisms and windows, selected according to refractive index, dispersion and transmission.
Quartzes and optical salts
Special materials for IR and UV applications with particular spectral properties.
Float glass
Economical flat glass with high flatness for carrier plates, protective glazing and less complex optical tasks.
Borosilicate glass
Technical glass with good thermal shock resistance and chemical resistance for technical applications.
Radiation protection glass
Absorbing glass against X-ray and gamma radiation for radiation protection doors, windows and laboratory facilities.
Technical ceramics
Temperature- and chemical-resistant materials for robust components in industry, medical technology and mechanical engineering.
