Innovation In AR Lens Coatings: High Quality Coatings For High-Power Lasers
Source: Ophir Optics Group
By Emiliano Ioffe, Process Development and Engineering Manager, IR line, Ophir Optronics Solutions
Lens coatings are an essential part of high-power CO2 laser systems. Coatings must protect the lens and allow for the highest levels of optical performance, with low levels of absorption and a long life expectancy. Transparency is another coveted characteristic for use with visible HeNe red laser pointers. The cost/benefit ratio of a coating must also be considered, as well as the environmental impact of the substrates used. For optical manufacturers, the challenge is in developing a lens coating that excels in all of these areas.
