![]() Your sidekick for laser optics development OPTOMANUkmerges g. 427 14185 Vilnius Lithuania |
OPTOMAN employs IBS technology to manufacture laser optics made for mid-IR. Broadband dispersive and low GDD mirrors for mid-IR range can reduce or even completely eliminate the need to use combinations of various bulk materials to compensate dispersion. Cost-effective solutions for mid-IR optics are also available. By developing relatively thin coatings through advanced material research, we’ve reduced the primary cost driver — production time — while maintaining the core advantages of IBS coatings. This allows us to deliver high-quality, durable mirrors without sacrificing spectral performance or efficiency, making them an affordable choice for Mid-IR laser systems, even at power densities up to 100 GW/cm2. Custom mid-IR optics can be designed for spectral range 1 – 5 µm, using standard or CaF2, MgF2, YAG, sapphire or silicon substrates. Product-specific web page |
