Notch Optics offers an extensive range of advanced thin film designs tailored for direct deposition onto temperature-sensitive fiber optic devices, utilizing processes below 50 degrees C to minimize out-gassing from epoxies and cladding materials.
Our high-energy deposition techniques ensure the production of dense, environmentally stable films suitable for devices undergoing rigorous humidity and temperature cycling tests.
Our expertise includes fixture, cleaning, coating, and inspection of various fiber optic components such as bare fibers, jacketed fibers, ball lenses, laser bars, and window caps, all conducted within a clean room environment. In-house tooling supports the coating of many standard fiber assemblies, with custom designs available upon request.
