“Seems to me that the capability that distinguishes your company from many others is that you can go from ‘Blue-Sky’ concept or solution to a problem to practical working hardware, taking into account form, fit, function, financials, schedule, boundary conditions and pizzazz factor.”

— Gene Cross, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center

Standards & Community

AMP Optics maintains an active role in the optics standards community, chairing the joint SPIE / Optics and Electro-Optics Standards Council (OEOSC) Infrared Materials Standards Working Group and serving as Chair of OEOSC, with prior service as convenor of an ISO working group on optical coating standards. That standards work, together with a contributed chapter in the SPIE Press book Review of Optical Manufacturing 2000 to 2020, keeps AMP Optics current with the state of the art in optical materials and manufacturing — and feeds directly back into the guidance we give clients.
