LASEROPTIK offers excimer optics coatings of various types – anti-reflection (VAR), high reflection (HR), thin-film polarizer (TFP) and variable attenuator (VA). This can be done for many UV wavelengths such as 157 nm, 172 nm, 126 nm and others.

Your sidekick for laser optics development

OPTOMAN can manufacture custom dielectric thin films and high-power laser optics for UV applications starting from 193 nm. Various type of coatings – anti-reflection, thin-film polarizer, or laser line high reflectivity – can be optimized for your application.

OPTOMAN IBS dielectric coatings for 193 nm, 206 nm and 213 nm feature several advantages compared to other solutions in the market:

• No aging (reflectance does not change over time)
• Longer lifetime
• Low loss and absorption

Moreover, non-degrading Ultraviolet optics for ultrafast applications are available that withstand over 10000 hours of laser irradiation.

Edmund Optics is a premier supplier of UV optics including mirrors, lenses, filters, and beam expanders. We work with ISO 9001 certified and MIL-spec quality systems, and use a wide range of metrology including interferometers, cavity ring-down (CRD) spectrometers, Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensors, profilometers, and coordinate measurement machines (CMMs). We provided guaranteed laser damage threshold specifications.

Universe Kogaku offers UV lenses and lens design for electronics, optics, medical and precision industrial applications. For example, we have deep UV lenses optimized for 250 nm wavelength, available from stock with focal lengths from 6 mm to 105 mm.

We have designed and manufactured these lenses as a reasonably priced solution to the growing need for imaging outside the visible spectral region. Owing to the broad transmission range of the elements, this family of lenses can transmit well in the infrared spectral region as well.
