Customer-Led Innovation: Custom Mechanical Designs for Your Optical System At Boston Micromachines, many of our most impactful component designs have come directly from the needs and ingenuity of our customers. From space telescopes to biomedical instruments, we have worked alongside system integrators, researchers, and OEM partners to deliver tailored mechanical solutions that go far beyond our off-the-shelf offerings. Tailored to Fit, Built to Perform We understand that every optical system is unique, and we are equipped to help bridge the gap between your requirements and our core MEMS technology. Over the years, we have designed and delivered: - Custom housings for tight enclosures, high-angle incidence setups, or beam steering configurations. - Vacuum- and purge-compatible assemblies. - Customized windows with specific materials, coatings, or bonding methods to support challenging environments. - Alternate cable routing and connector solutions to integrate cleanly with custom hardware layout or interface specifications. We believe that flexibility is critical in early-stage system design, and we pride ourselves on being a responsive partner throughout that process. Our goal is to bridge any needs between our standard product and your design.
Custom Modulators Tailored to Your Application At Boston Micromachines, we know that cutting-edge optical applications often require more than off-the-shelf solutions. Whether you’re operating in non-standard wavelength ranges or pushing the limits of modulation speed, we offer customizable MEMS Grating Modulators designed to meet your specific performance needs. High-Speed Modulation Our MEMS Grating Modulators support high-speed operation with modulation frequencies up to 200 kHz. These devices maintain consistent performance across the full range and do not rely on resonance, offering flexibility across a variety of time-critical applications. If your requirements stretch beyond standard limits, we can explore custom configurations with higher operational rates. Extended Wavelength Compatibility While our standard devices are optimized for 600-1100 nm wavelength range, we have successfully extended performance into the 1300-1800 nm range and have demonstrated capability up to 2200 nm in proof-of-concept devices. These extended-range modulators require modifications such as higher drive voltages and are subject to additional testing and qualification. Contact us to explore how our modulator technology can be tailored to your application. Our team is ready to provide technical guidance, quote custom builds, and help you integrate the right solution into your system.

Thorlabs Fast Laser Power Modulator for Two-Photon Microscopy Fast Laser Power Modulator for Two-Photon Microscopy Use the Boston Micromachines MEMS Grating Modulator as an enabling component in the Thorlabs DC power attenuator and high-speed modulator. The all-reflective design incorporates the gold-coated MEMS Grating Modulator device that is polarization independent and introduces minimal (<100 fs 2 ) dispersion as a central component. This unidirectional device accepts a collimated, 1 to 2 mm (1/e 2 ) diameter input beam with 250:1) or high (2500:1) contrast ratios. The Fast Laser Power Modulator is available now through the Thorlabs website. Click below to find out more.
