Salt Fog Silver Coating For Silver Reflector Optics

In demanding optical applications, silver is highly valued for its exceptional broadband reflectivity. However, atmospheric corrosion poses a persistent threat, particularly in extreme environments. Traditional protective measures often fail, leading to the degradation and reduced lifespan of silver-coated optics. To address this issue, Zygo Corporation has introduced a Salt Fog Silver Coating that offers unparalleled protection against atmospheric corrosion and mechanical damage. This innovation ensures prolonged optical performance even in the harshest conditions.

The coating provides superior reflectivity across visible through infrared wavelengths and unmatched resistance to corrosion and mechanical harm. It addresses the shortcomings of traditional protective measures, making it ideal for maritime defense, astronomy, and research.
