Custom solutions – With extensive experience in the field of photonics Acal BFi’s specialists work with engineers and scientists to understand the specific needs of their photonics system, and recommend the most suitable technology available from our portfolio of products from world-class manufacturers, we can even deliver a fully customised system. As an example, we have developed for, a research lab, a full table top SFG spectrometer consisting of a picosecond laser with harmonic generation, frequency mixing, sample holders, spectrometers and simple software.

Custom coatings – Improve the working lifespan and durability of your optics by choosing custom coating options from Acal BFi. We can guide you through coating options and help you choose the right one for your system. Our cost-effective coating options are available on short lead times and can be applied to new or existing optical devices. The coating material and technology selection have a big influence on damage threshold and cost, but also absorption, sensitivity to heat, temperature drift and durability. The correct coating can save cost by improving reliability in the field.

Calibration and repair – In addition to the local installation and service support, our European organisation allows us to offer a very well equipped and dedicated calibration and repair centre for many key Photonic technologies. It can help you to significantly reduce costs and downtime. We have been offering expert calibration services at our central test facility for over 15 years and our highly qualified team can rapidly calibrate, test and return your equipment in our ISO9001 certified facility.

Recent additions to our offer

• Launched our own optics range, focused on high-end femtosecond to nanosecond applications.

• New range of all-digital, maintenance-free scanning heads, offers significant improvements over the best-in-class competitor in terms of speed verses accuracy combination.

• New range of LED and luminaires goniometer characterisation solutions which are significantly cheaper, easier to use and more compact than those previously available.

• Entered into the Terahertz market with some unique solutions.

Photonics solutions from Acal BFi

Acal BFi offers an extensive range of products and services for the Photonics industry. From light generation (lasers, diodes, LEDs), manipulating light (optical components, scanners/galvanometers and modulators) to light detection (from simple photodiodes to sophisticated spectroscopy or photometry devices), Photons are at the heart of our expertise. Our technical experts will work closely with you to help you meet your key technical and commercial objectives.

A short introduction to Acal BFi Photonics Acal BFi Photonics is part of the Acal Group which consists of 3,800 employees in 23 countries around the world with sales of £338million in 2017. The Acal BFi Photonics business originally started in 1973 under the Optilas name and was the first European distributor of optics, lasers and related instrumentation. More than 40 years later we are still unique, being the largest European distributor and service supplier in the Photonics market and the only one with a pan-European coverage.

Our sales and service team of more than 40 engineers dedicated to Photonics are highly focused on the customer support for the following products:

• Lasers - from large volume OEM integrators in the bio-medical or laser material processing markets, to the most sophisticated picosecond or femtosecond laser systems for research work.

• Passive optical components - addressing laser users and designers, and the LED and luminaries lighting market.

• Active optical components - we offer a wide range of solutions including unique technologies and performance for modulators and galvanometer-based scanners, high end laser material processing and some proprietary technologies.

• Optical instrumentation - dedicated to laser characterisation from power and energy to wavelength, beam profile or M2 spectroscopy, from high-end scientific equipment to low-cost OEM solutions and photometry including LED, luminaires and display characterisation.
