Autoclavable Optical Coatings

LASER COMPONENTS is among the few companies worldwide that are capable of applying robust autoclavable coatings to optical components. This breakthrough innovation provides durable solutions that withstand the demanding sterilization processes applied to medical technology. 

Reliable Medical Equipment

Consistent Performance Ensured

Laser Debris Shield with AR Coating Laser Debris Shield with AR Coating

Using autoclavable optics ensures consistent performance of medical devices such as endoscopes – even after hundreds of autoclave cycles. The optical properties remain unaltered, and the optics continue to provide the desired effects such as increased light transmission, reduced image distortion, and elimination of ghost images. Enhanced reliability in medical equipment means both benefits for patient health as well as a secure investment for healthcare facilities.

Tackling Challenges

with New Technology

Traditional coatings often fail when exposed to the extreme heat, pressure, and moisture of autoclaves, leading to cracking, peeling, or degraded optical performance. LASER COMPONENTS addressed these issues as part of the STAR (Stable Anti-Reflective Coatings for Medical Technology) research project, developing chemically and mechanically resistant anti-reflective coatings. They can be applied to plane or curved substrates and can be tailored to specific wavelengths, making them a versatile solution for various medical applications.

Innovative Spirit

Beyond Borders

At LASER COMPONENTS, we collaborate with customers and leading research institutions to develop products that solve real-world challenges. Our commitment to innovation drives us to create solutions that set new standards for durability and performance. 

Autoclavable coatings can be applied to any optical component.

Aspherical lens Aspherical lens
Aspherical Lenses

Aspherical lenses correct aberrations, which in monochromatic light include image sharpness errors and distortion.

A typical application of these lenses is the focusing of a collimated beam onto an optical fiber.
Polarization Optics Polarization Optics
Brewster Plates

Brewster plates are used to separate s- and p-polarized light.

Brewster plates have a rectangular shape and are inserted at a specific angle of incidence to the laser beam. Light that is polarized parallel to the plane of incidence/reflection is completely transmitted at Brewster’s angle, whereas about 50 % of s-polarized light is transmitted.
Spherical Mirrors Spherical Mirrors
Cavity Mirror / End Mirror

Cavity end mirrors are used to generate the laser beam in the resonator.

Resonator end mirrors, also known as cavity mirrors, are designed to have high reflectivity at the desired laser wavelength in order to maximize the efficiency of the laser.
Cylindrical lens Cylindrical lens
Cylindrical Lenses

ROUND AND RECTANGULAR CYCLINDER LENSES ARE USED TO CREATE LINES / BEAM EXPANSIONS IN ONE DIRECTION.

We offer plano-concave and plano-convex cyclindrical lenses in rectangular, square, and round form.
Diagnostic Beam Splitter Diagnostic Beam Splitter
Diagnostic Beam Splitters

DIAGNOSTIC BEAM SPLITTERS FOR PROCESS MONITORING

Dichroic mirrors separate or combine two or more beams of different wavelengths in the desired ratio and enable process monitoring on the operating level in several wavelength ranges, as well as beam diagnostics. Their complex design enables multiple transmission and reflection ranges.
Dichroic Mirrors Dichroic Mirrors
Dichroic Mirrors

combine or separate two or more beams with different wavelengths.

Customized dichroic mirrors that are suitable for your individual application are manufactured upon request. 
ERIS Phase SLM

The ERIS Phase SLM offers high-performance spatial light modulation, seamless integration and easy calibration across a broad wavelength range.

GAEA-2 Phase LCOS SLM GAEA-2 Phase LCOS SLM
GAEA-2 Phase LCOS SLM

The GAEA-2 phase modulator models are based on reflective LCOS microdisplays with 4160 x 2462 pixel resolution and 3.74 µm pixel pitch

Gaussian Mirrors Gaussian Mirrors
Gaussian Mirrors

The degree of reflection slopes from the center of the optic in a Gaussian distribution. 

Gaussion mirrors are used in unstable resonators - mostly as meniscus lenses with an integrated wedge to avoid back reflections despite of antireflection coatings.
Optical Flat Mirrors High Power Optical Flat Mirrors High Power
High-power Laser Mirrors

Optimized for high-power lasers with intense pulse energies or high average powers

Mirrors for high-power lasers are high-precision optical components that direct or focus the laser beam. Thanks to a dielectric coating, the mirrors reflect the laser beam efficiently and withstand the high thermal load caused by the laser energy.
IR Filter IR Filter
IR Bandpass Filters

Dielectric bandpass filters according to customer specifications. The infrared filters are available in the wavelength range from 1.0 µm to 20.0 µm.

IR Filter IR Filter
IR Long-pass Filters

Dielectric coatings. Customer-specific solutions are also available for IR long-pass filters.
