The optical performance of optical coatings is only half of the picture. A coating that is perfectly manufactured to meet its optical specifications is useless unless it also meets the application's...

Laser crystals are used as the gain media for solid-state lasers and are critical for enabling a wide variety of applications ranging from laser materials processing to medical lasers. Like most...

Highly reflective mirrors for ultrafast lasers need to cover a broad wavelength range which depends on the pulse duration. Furthermore, the group delay dispersion (GDD) is usually specified to be...

An optical filter is a device that selectively transmits or blocks specific wavelengths, or colors, of light. Optical filters are used to control the spectral content of light in various...

An absorbing coating medium between fibers, used in some fused fiber optic plates to absorb unwanted light. Such coatings are sometimes called EMA (extramural absorption).

A technique for improving the structure density of thin-film coatings by bombarding the growing film with accelerated ions of oxygen and argon. The kinetic energy then dissipates in the film, causing...

Of evaporative coatings, a condition resulting when small chunks of material fly from the hot crucible onto the substrate surface and adhere there.
