Welcome to ANFF Optofab ACT

Our Mission

"To deliver precision full custom optics, coatings, chips, and systems to customer specifications with short lead times and at a palatable price to empower researchers, start-ups, and industrial users in rapid iterations of experimental setups and/or product development cycles.

We also aspire to be a focal point for coatings expertise, knowledge and information dissemination for the national interest."

We are a service provider that aims to give you what you need for your R&D with minimal required involvement on your side beyond the full specifications, and we operate much more on this basis than simply hiring out our tools by the hour which is impractical for the vast majority of requests…

Please browse our website (especially our Tools and Capabilities section and the three service types sections) and feel free to contact us regarding any of our services, processes and capabilities and how they may be of benefit to your research, project or device/material development.

We look forward to working with you soon.
