Bringing Quality Into Focus Global Leader in Precision Optical Components

05/12/2025

Individual optical components are precisely manufactured, but integrating multiple elements – such as lenses, filters, prisms, mirrors and more – into a system can often introduce alignment challenges that can have a huge impact on performance. 📏

Optical assemblies address this by delivering pre-aligned, housed components that are tested as a complete unit before dispatch. This approach reduces assembly time, minimises alignment variables and ensures optical performance is verified before integration into your system.

At Knight Optical, we provide custom optical assemblies tailored to specific applications, from multi-element lens systems to filter assemblies and mounted optics.

Custom optical assemblies 🔬

Having been in the industry for over 30 years, we understand that one size fits all simply doesn't apply to optical specifications, especially when it comes to optical assemblies.

Alongside our custom-made individual optics, our bespoke assemblies provide you with project-specific components that ensure optimal performance under regular or demanding conditions, based on your requirements.

From eyepiece and objective lenses to mounted optics, we work with you to supply assemblies in bespoke sizes, thicknesses and tolerances, as well as custom optical components to optimise performance.

What’s red, green and blue, and all around us? 🤔

Photonics, the science of light that powers everything from phone screens to Wi-Fi!

It’s easy to overlook, but light-based technology plays a huge part in almost everything we do, and powers key moments in our daily lives.

🕕 07:00 Wake up: Your phone alarm starts ringing. It’s driven by an LED display – that’s photonics

🪞 07:30 Getting ready: Check your reflection under the bathroom light; those LEDs use optics to create a natural glow

🚦 08:00 Daily commute: Traffic lights, car sensors and even the barcode scanners in shops, as you rush to grab the office milk, all use laser and photonic systems

💻 09:00 Work mode on: From the fibre-optic cables behind your Wi-Fi to the laser printers in your office, photonics keeps your connection (and your paperwork) flowing

🍞 13:00 Lunch break: Industrial lasers have cut and marked the packaging you scan while deciding between a ham or cheese sandwich, and optical sensors help check food quality and safety

📺 19:00 The evening unwind: That crisp TV picture is made possible by optical filters, coatings and precision lenses, bringing your favourite shows to life

🌙 22:30 Head to bed: From streetlights guided by optical sensors to your phone’s ambient light detector dimming your screen, photonics keeps things safe and comfortable after dark.

Photonics shapes every part of our day, and it’s often more than we realise.

🛩️ Most people are familiar with head-up displays (HUDs) from luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, where they help drivers navigate without looking down at the dashboard. But this tech actually originated in military aviation, and it's still essential today.

HUDs rely on precise optical engineering to create what's known as ‘optical infinity’. This makes flight data appear far in the distance (aligned with the pilot's view of the runway or horizon) even though the display itself is just centimetres away. This means pilots can read critical information during landing or combat without refocusing their eyes.

Four main optical component types make this possible: projection lenses, collimation optics, beamsplitters and fold mirrors – all engineered to MIL-SPEC standards for extreme conditions.
