Engineering & Research

Experts in glass design and custom formulations.

Whether you require technically sophisticated glass for commercial or military aircraft, night vision (NVIS) filters, technical filters, outdoor lighting, colored glass with LED lighting, heat absorbing (IR) glass, or other challenging applications, our Research and Engineering (R&E) team can assist you with the project. We specialize in glass design and custom glass formulations for:

• Difficult and precision shapes
• Specialized light distribution
• Selective spectral distribution
• Photometric Performance
• Physical properties

Our R&E team consists of scientists and engineers with vast knowledge and experience in the field of glass science and optical engineering. Kopp's engineering facility and photometric lab give us the resources to meet your most challenging requirements. Engaging us in the design phase of the project often results in an improved design and lower overall cost.

A large part of our research and engineering effort is spent assisting customers on new product development projects or solving a particular application challenge. We also provide research, design, and testing on a contract basis.

Kopp's extensive knowledge of glass science and optical engineering enable us to provide custom solutions through custom glass designs and custom glass formulations.
