Inrad Optics installs vacuum deposition system
Inrad Optics Inc. of Northvale, N.J., has installed a plasma-assisted e-beam vacuum deposition system to advance its thin-film coating capabilities. The 96-in. chamber, which enhances thin-film quality by altering its mechanical and optical properties, will increase the company’s capacity, enabling it to handle parts up to 1 m in diameter. The system will eliminate production bottlenecks to improve lead times and process control, said George Murray, vice president of sales and marketing. “Access to this level of technology in-house rounds out our turnkey custom optics services and is a springboard for delivering some of the industry’s most advanced coatings services.”
