LASER COMPONENTS has manufactured hard dielectric coatings for laser optics in the spectral range from 193 nm (UV) to 5 µm (MIR) since 1986.
Inside our specially-developed, high-vacuum chambers containing an electron beam gun, we coat both our own as well as substrates supplied by customers with diameters ranging from 4 to 200 mm. With process temperatures of less than 100 °C it is also possible to equip fully assembled fibers, plastic lenses, and glued and assembled optics with a hard, laser-proof coating.
The department has meanwhile developed five coaters. Some of our specialties include the manufacture of glass parabolic mirrors for thin disk lasers, adaptive optics, and Gaussian mirrors. LASER COMPONENTS coats laser optics using both a PVD process and ion assistance. We recently added sputtered coatings to our manufacturing range.
