For decades, even the largest, most vertically integrated companies in the optics and photonics industry have outsourced their coatings. These market leaders recognize that coating
Coatings are critical to optical system performance, and anti-reflection coatings are one of the most common in the industry. Learn more about proper selection, specification
Metallic mirror coatings offer uniform reflectivity over a wide spectral range and minimize reflectivity losses with optimized coating designs and processes. Learn more about the different types of mirror coatings and their advantages.
Anti-reflection (AR) thin film coatings are used to optimize desired wavelength(s) or broad spectrum of light transmissions and reduce unwanted surface reflections. AR coatings are
Beamsplitter coatings are normally produced on plate glass or in cube format. The incident beam splits into a partially transmitted beam and a partially reflected
Beam-splitters are one of the most widely used components in optical systems. A Beam-splitter is an optical component that divides an incident beam of light
