A Prosperous Post-Pandemic Pathway for Knight Optical 

While COVID-related repercussions have impacted the world over the past year and a half, Knight Optical – the leading supplier of on-spec, metrology-tested optical components – has demonstrated its business resilience by swiftly adapting to disruptions and maintaining business-as-usual status amidst a worldwide pandemic. 

Here at Knight Optical, we’re proud to have continued our high-quality operations efficiently during the pandemic – throughout both lockdown periods and in circumstances where the Government had lifted restrictions. What’s more, during these testing times, we were on hand to offer our excellent optical advice and provide stock and custom-made optics for a whole host of pandemic-busting devices – such as research and medical equipment as well as UV sterilisation materials.

Quality You Can Depend on Time and Time Again 

Much has changed since the pandemic sent waves through all our industries in 2020. However, for Knight Optical, our quality-first ethos remains to steer the success we have today. This quality that we’re renowned for wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for our state-of-the-art testing facilities and quality assurance department.

In-House Metrology Laboratory 

Equipped with high-end testing equipment – to measure everything from the surface form error and spectral requirements to complex dimensional specifications and optical properties – our metrology laboratory is there to ensure all optical components are tested against, and meet, their specification before being sent to our customers. Trained technicians are also on hand to assist with testing queries and data (which can be dispatched with your optical components). What’s more, you can also hire out our metrology laboratory. So, if you’re looking for a fully equipped testing facility, do get in touch today.
