Notch Optics employs positive airflow throughout multiple phases of the coating deposition process to ensure the highest quality results. This process begins with cleaning and preparing optics before they are loaded into the coating chamber. Positive airflow plays a crucial role in preventing contamination, ensuring that every optic is pristine before deposition begins.

In our advanced ISO Class 5 environment, each individual optic undergoes meticulous inspection and final cleaning by our highly trained inspectors. This cleanroom-grade setting minimizes the presence of airborne particulates, ensuring that every surface is perfectly prepared for the coating process. Attention to detail at this stage is critical for producing flawless optical coatings.

Additionally, Notch Optics has integrated laminar flow hoods over the front of each coating chamber. These hoods provide a continuous stream of clean, filtered air, which significantly reduces the risk of particulate contamination during the deposition process. This protective measure ensures that the coated surfaces remain unblemished and consistent, even in high-volume production runs.

By combining rigorous cleaning protocols, an ultra-clean inspection environment, and advanced airflow systems, Notch Optics achieves exceptional cosmetic quality in its coatings and surfaces. The result is a product that not only meets but exceeds industry standards for optical performance and durability. This commitment to precision and cleanliness underpins every step of our process, making Notch Optics a trusted leader in optical coating technology.
