Optical Coatings for Plastic and Molded Polymer Optics

optical coatings for plastic and molded polymer optics

Our proficient production team specializes in handling a diverse range of materials, including acrylics, polycarbonates, polystyrenes, polarizers, Mylar®, Zeonex®, and various other polymer materials.

We conduct processes at temperatures below 50°C, ensuring compatibility with temperature-sensitive substrates. Our expertise extends to coating unconventional shapes such as visors, polygons, and other injection-molded components.

These coated components find applications in biomedical devices, lighting, scanning, display, projection, and numerous other low and high-volume applications where lightweight and cost-efficiency are crucial.

  • AR Coatings (300nm – 2000nm): High-performance broadband to super low designs suitable for medical devices, display windows, Fresnel lenses, precision polymer optics, and more.
  • Metal Mirror Coatings (Ultraviolet to far Infrared): Includes protected, overcoated, and enhanced Aluminum and Gold coatings for both front and back surface reflections, meeting MIL-M-13508C standards.
  • Dielectric Mirror Coatings: Low-temperature coatings designed for direct deposition onto plastics, polymer optics, and other temperature-sensitive materials.
  • Transparent Conductive Coatings: Features ITO (Indium-Tin-Oxide), Transparent Gold, and other Anti-Static Coating Designs tailored for Touch Panels, Laminated Display Packages, CRT faceplates for RFI/EMI shielding, and laser window applications demanding environmental stability. Coatings are deposited to customer-specified ohms per square, with Custom Anti-Reflective coatings enhancing the electrically conductive ITO film.
  • Beamsplitter Coatings (240nm – 2000nm): Offers Dielectric and Metal Beamsplitters optimized to separate incoming light into reflected and transmitted components, tailored to specific requirements including ratio of reflected versus transmitted light, angle of incidence, wavelength region, polarization, and incident medium.
  • Attenuation Coatings: Thin film coatings designed to reduce or eliminate excess energy in optical systems.
  • Metal and Dielectric Depositions: Deposition of coating materials to specified target thicknesses.
  • Custom Optical Filter Coatings: Includes Bandpass, Broadband Pass, Long Wave & Short Wave Pass, Dichroic, Rejection, Edge Pass, and Neutral Density Filters deposited using Ion Beam Sputtering Leybold APS and IAD Deposition.
