Hibshman Optical

Hibshman Optical is a specialized manufacturer of precision optical components, primarily serving the medical device, aerospace, and defense sectors. The company is recognized for its expertise in fabricating miniature optics, including lenses, prisms, and windows made from challenging materials such as sapphire, germanium, and zinc selenide. These components are integral to medical technologies such as endoscopes, diagnostic imaging systems, and laser-based surgical tools. Founded in San Luis Obispo, California, the company established a reputation for high-precision fabrication and thin-film coating. In 2001, Hibshman Optical was acquired by II-VI Incorporated, which has since rebranded as Coherent Corp, where its legacy operations continue to support the global optoelectronics and engineered materials market.
