How Our AR Coating Improves Performance
By applying single or multi-layer thin films, we can transform the optical properties of your glass components:
- Increase Transmission: Boost light throughput from a standard ~91% to over 98% or even 99%.
- Reduce Glare: Eliminate ghost images and distracting reflections in display and imaging systems.
- Wavelength Precision: Coatings can be optimized for specific ranges: UV (Ultraviolet), Visible, or IR (Infrared).
- High Durability: Our coatings are engineered to meet industrial standards for adhesion, humidity, and abrasion resistance.
Types of AR Coating We Offer
We customize the coating stack based on your application’s performance and budget needs:
- Broadband AR (BBAR): Designed to reduce reflection across a wide range of wavelengths (e.g., the entire visible spectrum 400nm-700nm). Most common for cameras and displays.
- V-Coated AR: Optimized for a single specific wavelength (e.g., 532nm or 1064nm). Ideal for laser applications where maximum efficiency is required at one point.
- Dual-Band AR: Reduces reflection at two specific wavelength ranges simultaneously.
- Hydrophobic AR (Easy-Clean): An additional top layer that repels water, oil, and fingerprints, making the glass easier to maintain in outdoor or high-touch environments.
Common Applications for Our Coated Glass
Our clients integrate our AR-coated glass into high-performance systems, including:
- Optical Windows & Lenses: For industrial cameras, sensors, and protective laser windows.
- Display Cover Glass: Used in medical monitors, outdoor kiosks, and high-end automotive displays.
- Semiconductor Equipment: Precision glass components used in lithography and inspection tools.
- Solar & Energy Components: Maximizing light absorption for high-efficiency solar sensors and panels.
- Military & Aerospace: Ruggedized windows and viewports that require maximum clarity and durability.
Our Coating & Testing Capabilities
We manage the entire process from substrate preparation to final spectral verification:
- Vacuum Deposition Technology: Utilizing advanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) or Electron-beam evaporation for consistent, high-density film layers.
- Custom Substrate Sizes: We can coat everything from tiny micro-optics to large-format glass plates.
- Spectral Testing: Every batch is verified using a Spectrophotometer to ensure the transmission curves meet your specifications.
- Environmental Testing: We perform adhesion (tape test), abrasion, and humidity tests to ensure long-term stability in the field.
