Optical Coatings and Materials

Abrisa Industrial Glass (AIG) carries the most extensive US-based inventory of technical glass, enabling the company to provide the quick turn response and selection of materials needed to support increased demands.

Abrisa Industrial Glass has the broadest selection of SCHOTT D 263® T eco ultra-thin glass available in North America with 16 thickness options ranging from 0.03 mm to 1.1 mm. 

As the SCHOTT Conturan® Series is discontinued, we are here to help users identify which Abrisa Technologies Total Solutions best serve their project requirements and retrofit performance needs.

Abrisa Technologies, a member of HEF Photonics, provides “Low Sparkle” non-glare soda lime glass in formats to 63” x 40” and in thicknesses of 1.1 – 6mm. All standard gloss levels of 40, 60, 90, and 120 have our special highly controlled and uniform micro etched non-glare surfaces for consistent “low sparkle” performance in display applications.

Abrisa Technologies is pleased to announce that it now offers PRO-HC-VIS1, a protective anti-abrasion hard coat coating option for scanner glass applications with up to 40X more linear taber abrasion resistance when compared to an uncoated glass surface. The PRO-HC-VIS1 hard coat may be applied to a large selection of Abrisa Technologies’ sheet, float, and specialty HIE™ aluminosilicate glass material offering.

Alluxa, Inc., a global leader in high-performance optical coatings and filters and thin-film deposition technologies, announces the expansion of the online product catalog featuring hard-coated specialty filters with extended wavelength ranges from the ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR). Alluxa will be showcasing the new catalog optical filters during SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing at Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, Orlando, FL, April 5 - 7, 2022, in booth #1525.

HEF Groupe, a global leader in metallurgical surface treatments, coatings, and PVD vacuum deposition technology, acquired Abrisa Technologies in December of 2020, expanding their capabilities to serve the needs of Photonics enabled markets.

At SPIE Optics & Photonics 2023, Armadillo SIA's Mario Paredes provides a walkthrough of the benefits and advantages of optical fibers for applications where beam shape and homogeneity is critical

Alluxa has rapidly grown into a world leader in precision thin films and optical filters by refining our advanced SIRRUS Plasma Deposition process, designing and building our coating equipment, and a dedication to research and development.

At the 2023 Photonics West trade show, Lisa M. Tsufura introduces us to Abrisa’s optical and glass capabilities. Check out this video from the last day on the show floor to learn more about what Abrisa and HEF Photonics can provide.

Which optical coating will deliver the best results for my application? That is the key question of this 15-minute presentation with Barbara Herdt, head of the laser optics business unit at Laser Components.

On the last day of Photonics West 2022, Jim Sullivan with Schneider Optics introduced the JADE series – a family of lenses designed for an image diagonal of 19.3 mm and optimized for machine vision applications.

Peter Egerton set aside some time at the Photonics West 2022 exhibition to catch us up on improvements Alluxa has made over the last six months to broaden their spectral range. Learn how their in-house proprietary deposition process results in a high degree of uniformity, stability, and extremely high layer counts, which allow for steeper slopes and deeper blocking all while maintaining high transmission

Join us for a virtual tour at our Jerusalem production site to learn how we provide a one-stop-shop solution, from design to manufacture, assembly and QA, for optical components and assemblies for IR thermal applications.
