Our skilled production team is experienced with the preparation and coating of all types of glass including high stain, temperature sensitive, high expansion, high and low index, gradient index (GRIN) and glass sealed in metal housings or ferrules. Thin film designs are deposited with Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS), Leybold APS, Ion-Assisted E-beam (IAD) and thermal source deposition systems to ensure that the coatings meet your required optical performance, laser damage threshold and environmental stability. ECI’s design team is available to work with you to identify the optimum design for your system. Sample designs can be generated to illustrate the theoretical coating performance for your particular angle of incidence, substrate, incident medium and wavelength region.
The links below highlight the many types of optical and conductive coatings available for your Glass Substrates:
AR Coatings (240nm – 2500nm)
