- Description
Inspired by the challenge industrial players in the micromachining and semiconductor markets face - short lifetime of laser optics, OPTOMAN has done quite a unique thing – optimized the IBS coating process to make low absorption and high longevity dielectric optical components for Ultraviolet lasers.
Ultraviolet Lasers and their optics are so tricky that OPTOMAN likes to call them Ultra Viole[n]t. One of the problems is that scattering and absorption losses need to be well managed to ensure a high degree of reflection in the UV range, as they increase considerably when the wavelengths go down. Another problem - long-term degradation of the mirrors is another big issue when working with intense UV lasers.
OPTOMAN, by exploiting his superpowers of a strong focus on surface quality and well-optimized coating technology, flawlessly conquers the main challenges that UV optics face: Low transparency due to absorption; Scattering due to even tiny imperfections and Laser damage and long-term degradation.
