Our Dielectric Mirrors Are Installed In Some Of The Worlds Most Powerful Peta Watt Laser Systems

All-dielectric High Reflective (HR) coatings offer a high efficiency and a much higher laser induced damage thresholds than enhanced and protected metal mirrors. They are designed to provide either high reflection over one or more spectral bands, or as broadband reflectors covering, for example, the entire visible spectrum with reflection higher than 99% over a certain angular cone.   In our standard production we have a number of single, dual, and multiple band HR coatings.

In laser applications it is important to achieve high reflection over a narrow bandwidth and over a wide angular cone. Implementing the correct choice of materials, substrate, coating parameters, surface quality, and the overall coating design guarantee the best possible laser resistant coating.

Some of the worlds leading Laser Labs have utilized our facilities such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Naval Research Laboratory, and National Energetics.  These Labs have lasers that reach the Peta Watt level

All Cascade Optical Corporation's Dielectric coatings pass MIL-C-48497 and can be made to pass even the severe abrasion requirements of MIL-C-675.  We have a Environmental test Lab department to qualify each and every coating run.
