Capabilities

  • High LIDT Coatings
     
  • Laser Crystal Coating and Polishing
     
  • Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings
     

Depositing coatings with a high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) requires advanced process control and monitoring of manufacturing parameters, including cleanliness and coating repeatability. A continuous industry push towards higher-power lasers makes LIDT increasingly important for laser optics. The Edmund Optics Florida Laser Optics Center’s superior and proven high LIDT coating capabilities, combined with in-house LIDT testing, ensure that the optics you receive can meet your application’s demanding LIDT requirements.

  • High LIDT coating options covering 248nm to 12µm
  • All common laser optics substrates including N-BK7 and Nd:YAG
Optical Filter Glass

Laser crystals function as gain media for solid-state laser sources. They are typically doped with rare earth or transition metal ions, which amplify the laser light through stimulated emission. Non-linear laser crystals are used for frequency conversion of laser sources. The Edmund Optics Florida Laser Optics Center has the capabilities to both polish and coat laser crystals in a wide variety of materials. Their precision polishing improves coating adhesion, which minimizes losses and increases LIDT.

  • Crystal materials including YAG, YALO, YLF, KTP, YVO4, PPLN, and PPSLT
  • Form factors including round, rectangular, and zigzag slabs
  • Crystal polishing and high LIDT coatings

Optical Filter Glass

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings feature properties similar to natural diamonds like hardness and stress and corrosion resistance. They offer high transmission in the infrared (IR) and are ideal for harsh environment IR applications requiring anti-reflective coatings. They are often used in defense applications and applications that might expose the coatings to potential scratches, contamination, and stress.

  • Deposited on IR materials including Germanium and Silicon
  • Increase the longevity of optics in harsh environments
  • Nano-composite carbon coatings that replicate properties of natural diamond
