Low Stress IBS Coatings-back

Low Stress IBS Coatings

Optimax low-stress Ion Beam Sputtered (IBS) coatings enable tight post-coating wavefront control on complex mirror geometries while maintaining low absorption and high CW laser damage threshold.
Specifications: Ion Beam Sputtered Coatings: 400mm Mirrors, ARs and Filters Absorption: <2ppm ARs, <5ppm Mirrors in the NIR Laser damage thresholds: >10MW/cm2CW

Engineered Solutions in Action

Production of High Laser Induced Damage Threshold Mirror Coatings

Completing our suite of deposition equipment, we are developing a new Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) System with different substrate configurations: the High Throughput version (HT) and the High Precision version (HP). The HT version enables the coating of 4 planets of up to 350mm diameter substrates, whereas the HP version allows coating of substrates up to 600mm diameter in a single planet configuration. The IBS system is configured with a Bühler proprietary Optical Monitoring System for layer termination, a large 22cm RF sputtering source, and a LION plasma source for assist.
