Lone Star Shatter Shield is a DOTI first-surface mirror product laminated for added structural strength and safety. LS3 - LONE STAR SHATTER SHIELD CONTACT A SALES ASSOCIATE Fine optics manufactured with robust durability and safety in mind. Lone Star Shatter Shield is a DOTI first-surface mirror product laminated for added structural strength and safety. DOTI has developed the ability to laminate to glass, acrylic, metals, etc. This laminating process is a custom DOTI-developed application that we have already been successful in applying to various requirements including techniques for laminating collimating mirrors to create mirrors that are nearly impossible to rupture. DOTI's original laminating process was developed to meet a customer's need to laminate together dissimilar materials in a highly customized manner. The laminated optical components needed to meet specific transmission characteristics, internal quality requirements, and certain rigidity standards. DOTI successfully developed the product line not only to meet this customer's requirement; we then applied its many successes to several other application areas. A significant benefit of this process is that the laminated materials become highly break and shatter resistant. Even if a customer were to damage this mirror, it will probably be able to be used without compromising its utility, while ordering a replacement mirror. This process has been tested to ANSI Z97.1 (L) Level B. We have verified this process. Verification of process runs or required changes can be accomplished. Product Applications LS3 was developed for use in systems and displays that may be in direct public contact, displays with extreme vibration and sudden stops, or any application where safety is paramount. Simulation Military POS LS3 OPTIONS 1 Hand Selected Glass DOTI provides permanent lamination of the highest quality glass available (without grinding and polishing) as our "standard" LS product. 2 Highest Optical Quality DOTI is able to control it's grinding and polishing processes to an incredible degree and is able to provide customers with extremely flat laminated mirror substrates that are immensely rupture resistant. 3 Laminated Beam Splitters DOTI has laminated beam splitter coated substrates for use where the beam splitters would be used in a public setting. The customers wanted to mitigate risk. DOTI has laminated beam splitting coatings inside a "sandwich" which gives the customer the added safety benefit, as well as having the additional advantage of ensuring that the optical coatings would not be rubbed off with the repeated cleanings needed when optics are subject to public exposure.

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

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

The value of collimated light in simulation and gaming is that it provides the viewer with the most accurate and realistic depiction of the simulation activity, unlike flat panel trainers. COLLIMATORS CONTACT A SALES ASSOCIATE Collimators Collimated light is a bundle of light rays traveling parallel to one another which implies the light will not disperse with distance. Collimating Displays have been in existence for at least 30 years. Some credit Singer-Link with developing the first collimating display for training a pilot with a more realistic visual display system that included a television monitor being reflected off a beam splitter and onto a concave spherical mirror, the positioning of which provided the observer with light rays that were essentially collimated. The value of collimated light in simulation and gaming is that it provides the viewer with the most accurate and realistic depiction of the simulation activity, unlike flat panel trainers. Product Applications Collimating systems are an invaluable part of any industry that needs realistic, immersive simulation. We offer customization of size, materials, projectors, etc. Simulation Military Gaming S.T.A.A.G. - Simulation Training and Advanced Gaming A perfect balance of size, realism, and affordability.
