Optical Systems Research Laboratory (OPMER) was established to develop and produce sensitive optical components needed in many different fields within national possibilities and capabilities, primarily satellite technologies. The production and metrology systems used in the processes of shaping high-quality optical components, meeting surface finishing requirements, increasing surface form sensitivity, reflective, anti-reflective, etc., which are critical for cutting-edge space and defense applications, have been included in the infrastructure.
In the laboratory, which covers a total area of 1,100 m², 500 m² of the controlled area is reserved for sensitive optical production and metrology sections, 345 m² is reserved for micropatterning and coating sections with 100 and 1,000 class clean rooms, and 270 m² is reserved for the integration section with a 1,000 class clean room.
OPMER continues its work with great determination and belief to further increase the power and influence of Türkiye in the space and defense sectors.
