Our experienced production team specializes in preparing and coating a wide range of glass types, including those with high stain resistance, temperature sensitivity, high expansion coefficients, and varying indices such as high and low index glasses, as well as gradient index (GRIN) glasses and those sealed in metal housings or ferrules.
We utilize advanced deposition techniques including Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS), Leybold APS, Ion-Assisted E-beam (IAD), and thermal source systems to ensure that our coatings meet stringent requirements for optical performance, laser damage threshold, and environmental stability.
Notch Optics’s design team collaborates closely with you to identify the optimal coating design for your specific system. We offer sample designs to illustrate theoretical performance under conditions such as angle of incidence, substrate type, incident medium, and wavelength range.
