Andover Corporation was established in 1976 with the purpose of designing and manufacturing high-quality optical filters and coatings. Over the years as the company has grown, the focus has remained on quality. Our current facility spans 44,000 square feet on 17 acres of land in Salem, NH. Our facility is custom-designed and state-of-the-art, and includes automated coating, glass polishing, and fabrication equipment. Our testing capabilities are extensive, including both automated spectrophotometers for broadband spectral measurements, and ultra-high-resolution spectrophotometers for narrowband measurements. Our optical metrology lab features a custom-designed, computer-controlled tunable interferometer to measure transmitted wavefronts beyond the capabilities of a traditional laser interferometer. We manufacture filters and coatings for a wide variety of applications, including medical instrumentation, fluorescence studies, machine vision, agricultural imaging, ground-based and space-borne astronomical observation, telecommunications, military and civilian surveillance systems, and defense targeting systems.

With the sophisticated demands of today’s optical systems, precision necessarily drives decision. Archer OpTx offers the photonics industry what could be its most exceptional resource yet: a core of globally recognized photonics experts with an unwavering commitment to ultra-high precision optics, flawless integration, and rapid delivery. Using several production techniques, Archer OpTx has created cradle-to-grave assurance of high quality and efficiency with the ability to accommodate prototypes, medium volume production, or high volume production. By providing comprehensive solutions from engineering design services, optical components, lens assemblies, subassemblies, and more, Archer OpTx is a strategic resource for your competitiveness. We develop the right solution for each project, rather than trying to force every job to fit a single solution. Archer OpTx has the team, processes and tools to deliver to you the right optical solution, ensuring an optimal outcome.
