Advanced Thin Films offer superior quality laser mirrors and coatings
because IBS coatings offer lower scatter and absorption losses and
technologies. This superior film quality and uniformity results
in environmentally stable optics with laser damage thresholds
exceeding 70J/cm2 at 1064 nm and 20 ns.

both CW and pulsed systems.

reflectors, but they have several significant limitations which make them
Metal mirrors have long been the standard for general-purpose high
a poor fit for many of todays laser applications. Although inexpensive
upfront, drawbacks of metal mirrors include susceptibility to both laser
damage and mechanical abrasions, tarnishing or surface degradation,
and poor adhesion. In contrast, the increased reflectivity and durability
of all-dielectric coatings can result in improved performance and cost
savings over the lifetime of an optic or optical system.
Our broadband dielectric IBS coatings cover wide wavelength ranges
from the UV to NIR with > 99% reflectivity, independent of both
angle and polarization. In addition, they are easy to clean, scratch
resistant and insensitive to environmental changes. With high damage
thresholds and low scatter and absorption coefficients, they are ideal
for frequency doubled and tripled Nd:YAG lasers, fiber lasers and
broadband or tunable laser applications.
