Request InfoQuantum Technology Inc.Quantum Technology Inc. is offering AR Polycoat, a polymer coating for dry BBO and KD*P Pockels cells, and dry SHG or THG crystals of BBO, LBO, KD*P or CD*A mounted with windows. This antireflective coating bonds directly onto the crystal faces in a vacuum chamber and is available in wavelengths from 360 to 1064 nm. Reflection loss of the Pockels cell is <1% at 1.064 µm for crystal faces and <1% for window AR faces. For dry SHG or THG crystals, total reflection loss is <2%.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Showcase April 2024 IssueIntlvac PARMS for Sputtered IR FilmsThe Nanochrome IV PARMS produces dielectric thin film layers by reactive magnetron sputtering with final reaction and film densification at the substrate surface using a high current, low energy ion...Photonics Showcase April 2024 IssueITO for Glass, Plastic, and CrystalsNACL provides tailored ITO coatings for diverse industries.
