IOPLAS-II Fibers And Other Temperature Sensitive Materials
Below are some featured Coatings where customers wanted coatings on the ends of fibers with high LIDT, Cemented Lenses, and Plastic Optics
High LIDT BBAR On The Fiber Tips
This customer wanted us to cover several laser lines of interest, simultaneously, on fiber ends at 405, 488, 532, 560, 590, 640nm. The other hurdle was that they required 5.1MW/cm2 laser power at 405nm. Rather than creating 7 V-Coats it is actually easier to create a BBAR that covers all of these laser lines. This also reduces the number of coating layers and makes the overall coating more resistant. Given UV friendly material types and the correct processing parameters we met this challenge head on and have been in production for years
Coating Cemented Lenses, Doublets, Or Prisms
This is an example of an extended BBAR we did for a very well known telescopic lens manufacturer on CaF2 Doublets. Note how this coating is in the NIR and since interference layers need to be proportionately equal to the thickness of the wavelength, the overall coating thickness is much greater than a VIS BBAR. This particular coating was done on temperature sensitive CaF2 Doublets and passed both adhesion and severe abrasion MIL-C-48497
Cold Coating Aviation Flight Goggles
This customer was not only looking for a Visible Broad Band Anti Reflective Coating, But, they also wanted a Multi-Layered Notch centered to block out a specific laser line in the visible(Blinding Protection)
