PFG Optics holds a proven track record with leading defense primes, supplying ITAR-compliant precision optics for mission-critical systems. As a DDTC-registered, CMMC-compliant, ISO 9001-certified U.S. manufacturer, we support defense programs end-to-end, from prototyping through onshore volume production, with disciplined quality control and rigorous compliance at every stage.
Why Defense Programs Choose PFG:
Key capabilities: IR materials fabrication (silicon, ZnSe, ZnS, CaF2), UV->MWIR coatings, durable AR/HR coatings, conductive coatings for EMI shielding
Featured whitepaper: Precision Optics for Defense Applications
Semiconductor inspection systems push optical performance to physical limits. PFG produces high-precision components with the surface quality, form accuracy, and coating uniformity these systems require. PFG's onshore production and direct engineer-to-engineer engagement mean programs run smoothly and parts meet demanding specs, on-time.
Key capabilities: Zernike-level form error control, low-scatter polishing, CaF2 and Fused Silica materials expertise, fabrication/coating vertical integration, wafer dicing

Imaging system performance depends heavily on the optics in front of the sensor. PFG builds custom spherical lenses tuned to your spectral range, environmental conditions, and project volumes instead of forcing your design into a catalog part spec. By investing in latest-gen CNC manufacturing, our lenses hold the form error and centration tolerances that high-resolution imaging requires. PFG works across the full range of imaging materials, from crowns and dense flints to fused silica and IR materials as well as coatings from UV through the MWIR.
Because we fabricate, coat, and test under one roof, your coating is matched to the exact glass type and band you're imaging in. Surface quality is protected through the coating step instead of going to another sub-tier. One partner is responsible for your optics from first article through full production.
Key capabilities: custom spherical lenses (prototype to production), broadband and custom AR coatings, conductive AR for opto-electronic integration.
