Custom Optical Coatings
A coating must be designed and verified for the real substrate, wavelength band, angle of incidence, polarization, environment and energy density. We structure the RFQ around spectral curves and acceptance criteria rather than a coating name alone.
Materials & wavelength
Substrate routes
Coatings are reviewed together with fused silica, optical glass, crystals, silicon, germanium, ZnSe and other compatible substrates.
UV, visible, NIR, MWIR and LWIR. Common laser-line requests include 355, 532, 632.8, 1064 and 1550 nm.
End use
Typical applications
- Laser optics and beam delivery
- Imaging and machine vision
- Spectroscopy and fluorescence systems
- Thermal imaging and infrared sensing

Reference manufacturing and RFQ targets
These values show the type of requirement that can be evaluated. They are not a blanket capability guarantee. The signed quotation, approved drawing, sample and inspection plan control the final product.
| Parameter | Reference target / quotation note |
|---|---|
| Coating families | AR/BBAR, HR, PR, beamsplitter, filter and protected metallic designs. |
| Process route | IBS, IAD, electron-beam or magnetron-sputtering routes may be evaluated by spectrum, damage and durability. |
| Laser-line HR target | Rs/Rp above 99% at the design line is a common reference target; AOI, polarization and bandwidth must be defined. |
| Spectral acceptance | Provide R/T limits, measurement resolution, witness sample, AOI and polarization across the full band. |
| Durability | Humidity, adhesion, abrasion, temperature cycling, salt fog or customer-specific environmental testing as required. |
| Laser damage | LIDT requirements are reviewed with wavelength, pulse width, repetition rate, beam size and test standard. |
Faster technical review
What to include in your RFQ
- Substrate material, dimensions and surface condition
- Spectral band with R/T targets and blocking range
- AOI range and s/p/random polarization
- CW or pulsed laser conditions if applicable
- Environmental tests, sample quantity and production volume
Final acceptance: Confirm all numerical values, material grade, coating curve, metrology, sampling plan and documentation on the purchase specification.

Attach drawings or spectra where possible. Factory visits and supplier audits are available by appointment for qualified projects after the route is confirmed.
Buyer questions
Optical Coatings FAQ
What information is required for an AR coating quotation?
Provide substrate, wavelength range, target residual reflectance or transmission, angle range, polarization, environment, clear aperture and quantity.
Why is a spectral curve better than saying “broadband AR”?
Broadband means different things in different systems. A curve or table defines the passband, edge behavior, blocking region and acceptance points unambiguously.
Can coating be quoted on customer-supplied optics?
It can be reviewed. The supplier will need substrate identification, incoming surface quality, geometry, cleaning history, masking, handling and liability requirements.
