Check here for news, updates, anouncements, and events from DOTI. WE DO WHAT WE LOVE, AND LOVE WHAT WE DO. CALL US < Back Achieving Our Goals Apr 20, 2018 Update from DOTI Over the past year, DOTI has been focused on proving to the simulation industry, our commitment to manufacturing large format (9’, 10’ and 11’ radius) optical grade spherical glass mirrors for both military and commercial flight simulators. We have been successful in achieving our goals to this point and are proud to say we are now taking our growth to the next level. DOTI is in the process of adding new manufacturing equipment to our newest building. We have designed and are building an additional large grinding and polishing machine to be better prepared for future sales of these larger format mirrors, and have more announcements to come. DOTI has just recently completed source inspection on a massive 5 mirror set for a major simulation integrator. In addition, DOTI will be rolling out a second set of these large format mirrors over the next few weeks to meet a demanding schedule for the final install. Both systems are for the same company and will be providing the commercial simulation market with DOTI glass mirrors. DOTI has begun manufacturing on four sets of glass mirror upgrades that follow these commercial projects. These sets will be delivered into the Military market for another major integrating customer (customers to remain undisclosed at this time). These sets will be deliverable in 2018 and 2019. The four mirror sets will be divided into two different designs of two systems each. Customer interest in massive collimating mirrors and flat mirror production (new and existing business) have surpassed our expectations during the past year and we appreciate the support of our established customers and the opportunity to prove ourselves to new customers, as well. Increases in business and even demanding delivery schedules will be met as DOTI continues to expand and advance to meet our market’s needs for the future. Previous Next How can we serve you?

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.

DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE OF A TRIPLE SOURCE AIR MASS ZERO SOLAR SIMULATOR by Phillip Jenkins and David Scheiman (Ohio Aerospace Institue), and David Snyder (NASA Glenn Research Center). (NASA) Design and Performance of a Triple Source Air Mass Zero Solar Simulator DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE OF A TRIPLE SOURCE AIR MASS ZERO SOLAR SIMULATOR by Phillip Jenkins and David Scheiman (Ohio Aerospace Institue), and David Snyder (NASA Glenn Research Center). BACK From Abstract: "Simulating the sun in a laboratory for the purpose of measuring solar cells has long been a challenge for engineers and scientists. Multi-junction cells demand higher fidelity of a solar simulator than do single junction cells, due to a need for close spectral matching as well as AM0 intensity. A GaInP/GaAs/Ge solar cell for example, requires spectral matching in three distinct spectral bands (figure 1). A commercial single source high-pressure xenon arc solar simulator such as the Spectrolab X-25 at NASA Glenn Research Center, can match the top two junctions of a GaInP/GaAs/Ge cell to within 1.3% mismatch, with the GaAs cell receiving slightly more current than required. The Ge bottom cell however, is mismatched +8.8%. Multi source simulators are designed to match the current for all junctions but typically have small illuminated areas, less uniformity and less beam collimation compared to an X-25 simulator. It was our intent when designing a multi source simulator to preserve as many aspects of the X-25 while adding multi-source capability." Connect with us! How can we serve you? CONTACT US

Providing our customers with the highest quality components available, DOTI manufactures optics to meet the most advanced specifications and performance in the industry. Mirrors and Lasers in Astroparticle Physics Infrastructures 2nd ASPERA Technology Forum 20-21 October 2011 - EGO/Virgo Site (Cascina), Pisa BACK From Forward : "To some extent, Astroparticle Physics (ApP) can be considered as the science of rare events, arising in some cases from the most violent phenomena in the Universe, happening fortunately far away! Nonetheless, detecting such weak signals and understanding their nature / origin are of paramount importance in our understanding of the fundamental laws governing the Universe. Identifying rare and weak signals requires imagining appropriate experiments and then going from conceptual design to the realisation of sophisticated and large size facilities with technical performances often beyond the exciting technological abilities. Accordingly, to constitute the indispensable large spectrum of expertise, close collaboration / cooperation between academia and industry is a must. ASPERA, a European ERA-Net project started within FP6 (2006 – 2009) and being continued in FP7 (2009 – 2012), has been developing an ambitious approach for i) facilitating the creation of large enough collaborations in ApP in Europe, ii) strengthening / creating bridges between public research institutions and companies, especially via the organisation of Technological Forums. The present event is focused on lasers and mirrors. Actually, new generation of facilities for the detection of Gravitational Waves (GW) and (very) high energy gamma rays (HEGR) are in R&D phases. The first topic deals with one of the most fascinating predictions of the General Relativity, going back to 1916 and still undiscovered! Detectable signals are expected resulting from merging / collision between black holes, binary neutron stars… The third generation interferometic detectors is planned to be constructed underground and use cryogenics technology, with unprecedented requirements on the characteristics and performances of lasers and mirrors. The realm covered by the second topic spans phenomena due to supernovae, pulsars, merging galaxies… Hunting rare events requires a very high selectivity and hence minimised background. The Cherenkov Telescope Array project anticipates various sized telescopes in order to pin down the sources of the HEGR and uncover the mysteries of underlying mechanisms. Here also, the required characteristics and performances go far beyond the state-of-the-art in the ground-based telescopes. In summary, the ApP community needs to impulse highly challenging R&D in optics, lasers and mirrors. Innovations in all those areas will certainly also allow companies to apply the gained expertise in other fields at the heart of social needs and concerns: energy, environment, health…" Connect with us!
