DOTI has manufactured many optics utilizing our ability to bend (“slump”) glass, as well as form cast substrates, which allow aggressive light-weighting while providing good structural rigidity of the finished optics through use of integral support ribs. The largest cast lightweight mirror we have ground to date is 42″ diameter.

Lone Star Shatter Shield (aka LS3) is a proprietary lamination process which allows us to laminate glass, acrylic, and other materials. This lamination process is a custom application that we have been successful in applying to various requirements, including laminating collimating mirrors to create mirrors that are nearly impossible to rupture.
