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

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.

Introducing PERMA - Performance Enhanced Replacement of Mylar Applications. DOTI increases the LS3 product line with the option to laminate with acrylic. The LS3 product line is a great option for customers who are looking for quality optical components with the added benefit of structural strength and safety. DOTI pioneers an ultra lightweight mirror product called PERMA . PERMA stands for Performance Enhanced Replacement of Mylar Applications. PERMA mirrors were developed as an improvement over Mylar mirrors which can stretch, sag, lose reflectivity, and quickly show signs of handling and use. PERMA mirrors employ a thin first surface mirror permanently bonded to a lightweight rigid panel. These lightweight panels include custom mounting points on either the backside or sides of the panel.
