CALL US < Back Additional Facilities Mar 13, 2018 DOTI has begun the moving process to new facilities! DOTI announces that it has leased a new facility to be used as our Interim Staging and Warehouse Site. This will be our marshalling area for large components going into Assembly. This facility will be used while we complete negotiations and construction of a Permanent Facility to house Customer Final Acceptance & Test. The addition of these two facilities will double DOTI’s working footprint to just over 34000 sq ft. Once the new facility is constructed, DOTI will retain the interim property as a Logistical Staging Site for Major Components and Products. DOTI is adding Professional and Skilled Production Positions in tandem with these Facilities Enhancements. DOTI will be making announcements about new Equipment and Processes in 2018.

DOTI has manufactured many from small and simple to large and complex tessellated arrays. TESSELLATED ARRAYS CONTACT A SALES ASSOCIATE Tessellated Arrays DOTI has manufactured many from small and simple to large and complex arrays. DOTI has been selected as the Sole Source Supplier for several projects due to the accuracy of our polished surfaces, our ability to machine multiple, accurate through-holes for mounting (and other functions) and our ability to meet the delivery requirements of our customers. Currently, DOTI is supplying refurbishments and coatings to the VERITAS Program at Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory, AZ, in order to extend the life cycle of their scientific endeavor under the direction of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Observatory, for and by the VERITAS members. DOTI has also supplied mirrors for Gamma Ray Research to the University of Chicago, Case Western Reserve University, University of California-Riverside, and others. Product Applications Astronomy Military Solar KEY BENEFITS 1 High accuracy machining of through-holes and on dimension tolerances for accurate mounting. 2 High volume, high accuracy production even on long radii. 3 Consistent performance of optics over lengthy production runs.

Performance Enhanced Replacements for Mylar Applications (PERMA®) PERMA® MIRRORS CONTACT A SALES ASSOCIATE Performance Enhanced Replacements for Mylar Applications Displays & Optical Technologies, Inc. has been developing and refining its PERMA® process to satisfy our customers’ need for an accurate and light weight solution for glass first surface mirrors that will replace Mylar reflectors. Recent advancements in the technology of both the projection and screen industries have fostered a need to produce a highly accurate mirror that will better utilize the full potential of these systems. Since 2008, DOTI has been supplying highly accurate glass mirrors as a better, longer lived, more rigid and higher reflectivity solution to the fold mirror need. DOTI has developed a proprietary backing, mounting and holding process that provides our customer with a mirror assembly that is not only light weight and stable, but is far flatter both locally and globally than any other lightweight mirrors available. Typical weight for our standard mirror assemblies are approximately 3.4 pounds per square foot using a 1/8” glass first surface mirror with an overall combined assembly thickness of about 1.06”. Product Applications PERMA® mirrors are highly customizable to suit the needs of our customers. To accommodate any application, we offer customization of mirror grade, thickness, coating, surface accuracy, reflectivity, durability, AoI optimization, backer/mirror size, shape, mounting points, etc. Additional options for finish, marking, and crating are available. Fold Mirrors Projection Faceted Systems Simulation Scientific Entertainment ExPres PERMA® Mirrors DOTI offers an upgraded version of our PERMA® line of mirrors for applications that demand hyper-flatness and surface smoothness for high resolution and high brightness projection displays. This PERMA® line is optically ground and polished to eliminate all the micro-ripples that are present in all float glass (due to the manufacturing process). DOTI is able to grind and polish this material to a true optical-quality surface. We offer a PERMA® mirror that has a flatness deviation of a fraction of a wave per inch compared to commercial and selected float glass with an average of 3-6 waves of deviation. The surfaces also have a smoothness that has previously only been available on precision optical products. This becomes increasingly valuable as display systems increase in brightness, resolution, and size. Using ExPres PERMA® mirrors, our customers can better utilize the full potential of the newest high end projectors and screens available. How can we serve you? CONTACT US

Each of the VERITAS telescopes has 345 adjustable glass facets which were manufactured by D.O.T.I., Roundrock, Texas with slumping and grinding to get the optical figure. The facets were aluminized and anodized at the Whipple Observatory. Mirror Facets for the VERITAS Telescopes by E. ROACHE, R. IRVIN, J. S. PERKINS, K. HARRIS, A. FALCONE, J. FINLEY AND T. WEEKES Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 670 Mount Hopkins Road, Amado, AZ BACK From Harvard Abstract : Each of the VERITAS telescopes has 345 adjustable glass facets which were manufactured by D.O.T.I., Roundrock, Texas with slumping and grinding to get the optical figure. The facets were aluminized and anodized at the Whipple Observatory. The parameters (reflectivity, focal length and blur circle) were measured. The design specifications for focal length (12.00 m +/- 1%) and spot size (< 10 mm) were surpassed by a factor of two. The anodizing process will be described and the effect of exposure at the VERITAS site on the reflectivity described.

Exceed current and future specifications with DOTI's Large Area Spherical Mirrors. DOTI produces the hightest quality optical components available, allowing pilots to train in the most realistic environment and giving them an immersive, "out-the-window" view, with depth and realism. Product Applications Used in a variety of industries from solar energy to aerospace research development, precision spherical mirrors are a great way to get spectacular and accurate results. With minimal deviation from sphere RoC (Radius of Curvature) and available sub-wave surface accuracy, our spherical mirrors continue to exceed customer expectation. An array of materials, sizes, thickness, coatings, etc. are available to meet every need. Simulation Military / Civil Aviation Automotive Maritime Gaming / Entertainment Construction CONCAVE SPHERICAL MIRRORS 1 Simulation / Remote Operation As the demand for more realistic simulation increases, so does the need for collimated displays. Collimation within the visual display is the one key aspect of a system that gives the user the most realistic simulation experience. Training with a true depth of field allows for increased performance in the field when compared to zero depth systems. 2 Solar Power Increase energy collection concentration efficiency, reduce system footprint, and improve overall system performance with DOTI precision spherical mirrors. CONVEX SPHERICAL MIRRORS 1 Convex Spherical Mirrors Widely used to expand light paths, convex mirrors can reduce the total number of mirrors needed within a visual system of display. Utilizing DOTI precision spherical mirrors for light path expansion will ensure the most accurate and uniform expansion of light. How can we serve you? CONTACT US
