Request InfoOmega Optical LLC3rd Millennium filters offer the advantages of surface coatings, along with the benefits of extreme phase thickness coatings and automated manufacturing. At the heart of each filter is a hermetically sealed physical assembly that protects the dielectric coatings and eliminates the environmental instability of surface coatings. The assembly uses no polymer adhesives, minimizing the potential for photo damage and thermal instability. The result is longer filter life, increased transmission, reduced parasitic fluorescence and significantly reduced transmitted wavefront distortion. The 3rd...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 3/27/2024Fiber Metalization SystemThe Midas Metalization System from Intlvac is designed to produce a single or multilayer symmetrical metal coating on ends, mid spans, or windows of optical fibers for use in a hermetically sealed...Photonics.com 10/3/2023Optical Design SoftwareThe Thinoxide software suite from Thinoxide Software Ltd. is a web-based optical design software that is free to use, providing a graphical implementation of the thin-film transfer-matrix method for...Promoted Content June 2022 IssueAR Conformal CoatingsDeposition Sciences’ exclusive IsoDyn™ low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) technology is a high-temperature process that deposits extremely conformal coatings on a wide variety...Promoted Content October 2023 IssueOrder Sorting FiltersWhen the spectrum of a spectrometer covers more than one octave, the multiple orders from the grating make interpretation of the detected spectrum difficult.
