Buying Anti-reflection Coatings
Anti-reflection coatings (AR coatings) are dielectric thin-film layers applied to optical surfaces to minimize reflectivity and enhance light transmission. These coatings are essential for improving the efficiency of optical systems by reducing unwanted reflections and glare, thereby increasing the overall performance of lenses, displays, and other optical components.

![]() Precision Optics & Coatings for High Energy Laser Applications Perkins Precision Developments4110 North Valley Drive Longmont, CO 80504 United States | ![]() Perkins Precision Developments (PPD) manufactures custom IBS coatings, including anti-reflection coatings. PPD utilizes Ion Beam Sputtering coating technology because it is ideal for complex spectral designs, high power Nd:YAG and fiber lasers and applications where it is critical to minimize losses from absorption and/or scatter. IBS thin films have densely packed micro-structures resulting in stable, easy to clean optics that are insensitive to environmental changes such as heat, humidity and pressure. Our AR coatings exceed damage thresholds of 25 J/cm2 or sometimes even >60 J/cm2 at 1064 nm. |
![]() A635, Boke Mansion No. 9 Xiyuan Road Xihu District, Hangzhou 310030 China | ![]() Hangzhou Shalom EO offers custom AR coatings, including optical coating design and manufacturing of anti-reflection coatings. Various AR coatings of multiple-layer or single-layer structures are available, like broadband AR (BBAR) coatings, laser line V coatings, dual/multiple wavelength AR coatings, etc. We can tailor the AR coatings that suit different wavelengths and optical substrates. Hangzhou Shalom EO utilizes the efficient and cost-effective ion-assisted deposition electron beam (IAD e-beam) technique, which enables the creation of denser films with reduced scatter compared to evaporative deposition alone. In our class 1000 clean room coating workshop, we employ leading-edge facilities like SHINCRON MIC-1350TBN coating machines and ultrasonic cleaning machines to clean and fabricate the optical coatings, and we conduct strict inspection for the critical parameters of each batch of optical coatings using up-to-date metrological instruments like PerkinElmer Lambda 1050+ spectrometer, Ultrafast Innovations GOBI white light interferometer. Besides, Shalom EO also supplies a series of custom optical coatings, comprising high-reflective coatings (both dielectric and metallic), optical filter coatings, beamsplitter coatings, and optical coatings optimized for high-power/ultrafast systems. |
