Coatings & Materials

High optical density laser safety coatings for laser goggles. High reflection coatings designed for the use of laser reflection.

Dielectric mirrors with extremely low losses become Super Mirrors. Their superpower of high reflectance comes from the OPTOMAN’s continuous effort to add more and more nines after the point when talking about reflectance values. Low Loss optics can also be found at OPTOSHOP and be delivered in 3-5 business days.

Spectrogon manufactures infrared filters and windows both for the 3-5 µm and the 8-12 µm atmospheric window. These filters are suitable for infrared imaging applications such as thermography, night vision, surveillance, fire fighting, mine detection, medical imaging, preventive maintenance and industrial process control.

Thin-film optical coatings: AR coatings reduce glare and ghost images from secondary reflections resulting in a clearer and sharper image. AR applications: camera lenses, instrument panels, binoculars, telescopes. Custom anti-reflection optical coatings are used in the UV, VIS, and far-IR range and include broadband, cold, UV, far-IR, laser, single layer and multilayer for specific applications.

Reaching highest LIDT was demonstrated with LASEROPTIK’s large mirrors for HAPLS, the most powerful petawatt laser ever built, part of ELI Beamlines. These results have now been published by a team from both organizations: ”Large area ion beam sputtered dielectric ultrafast mirrors for petawatt laser beamlines.“ Applying their unique IBS machine, LASEROPTIK successfully coated dielectric mirrors for the beam transport system of the world’s highest average power petawatt (1015 W) laser system...

For PW Lasers and Line Beam Systems LASEROPTIK offers coatings made by IBS (ion beam sputtering) on large substrates up to diameter 500 mm or equivalent rectangular shapes. Coating designs can be optimized for high LIDT and complex GDD specifications, e.g. for Petawatt laser applications. LASEROPTIK can provide either job coating or finished optics. Additionally, LASEROPTIK has built up IBS coating systems for long optics up to 2 meters in length, used in industrial laser line beam systems....

For any application which requires coated optics with extremely low losses LASEROPTIK manufactures mirrors with R > 99,998 % and total losses < 10 ppm. These so called supermirrors are used in ring laser gyroscope assemblies or certain scientific and commercial applications. LASEROPTIK uses modified IBS machines that are capable to produce low absorption and low scatter coatings on super polished substrates. The cleanliness of these machines and environment is maintained in dedicated...

As part of our recently enlarged program for ultrafast laser applications, LASEROPTIK offers chirped mirrors, matched pairs and dispersive coatings. In addition, the use of high quality substrates with superior roughness from our Premium ( 70) non­quarterwave layers is performed. The results are verified ex-situ by in-house GDD measurements.

EMF's high transmission cold mirrors are an excellent choice for blocking undesirable UV and VIS light. Custom substrates for high-temperature applications are available upon request. They are produced using borosilicate or float glass. Featuring 40M sq. in. of coating capacity, EMF has successfully coated 700k+ cold mirrors for head-up displays (HUDs) for a global automotive components manufacturer.
