Torrent Photonics manufactures high-quality micro-patterned precision optics, including standard and custom reticle designs. The company fabricates reticles using multiple techniques, including etch-and-fill, patterned dielectric, dichroic and metal coatings.
Torrent supplies reticles for a range of military applications, including fire control optics, weapons sights, scopes, and surveillance and reconnaissance systems. Varieties include direct-view, projection, side-illuminated, light-field and dark-field. Reticles can also be produced on prisms and other odd-shaped geometries, allowing designers to address space requirements while maintaining performance.
Etch-and-fill reticles are available with black, white or red fill. All reticle products meet environmental and physical specifications to MIL-PRF-13830.
