OPTOMAN

OPTOMAN offers high-performance Ion Beam Sputtered anti-reflective coatings with reflectance per surface down to R < 0.01%. IBS coatings are optimized for temperature and humidity-independent performance, high damage threshold (> 168 J/cm² @ 1064 nm, 9.8 ns, 100 Hz, 223 μm). Single wavelength, multiwavelength, or broadband coatings can be designed for the spectral range from 200 nm to 5000 nm.

With absorption being at low level (<1 ppm per coated surface at 1064 nm), AR coated windows and lenses feature enhanced lifetimes.

In-stock windows and lenses with various ROC's and coatings are available on OPTOSHOP.

OPTOMAN offers laser beam combining optics with durable sputtered coatings optimized for laser line or broadband performance, s-pol or p-pol components, ultrashort pulses or CW applications, highest LIDT, and small splitting tolerance. Steep edge dichroic mirrors are available in efficiency-optimized configurations (transmittance >99% or reflectance >99.9%), also featuring minimum pulse dispersion and no spectral drift.

OPTOMAN offers laser beam splitters which are optimized to split or combine high-power laser beams operating in the visible through infrared wavelengths. OPTOMAN design coatings with high accuracy splitting ratios and low GDD behavior for an optimal result in ultrafast applications. Non-polarizing beamsplitter coatings with S and P components matched to within 1% are also available.

In-stock non-polarizing beam splitters are available on OPTOSHOP.

OPTOMAN can guide you through the features of chirped mirror designs and manufacture optimal dispersive mirrors for your laser system. Our dispersive mirrors feature predefined and spectrally uniform GDD. GTI mirrors can be designed for any specific GDD requirement from slightly negative (−20 fs²) up to ±10000 fs².

Matching chirped mirror pairs are also available and can give a dispersion compensation effect.

Standard GTI mirrors can be found in OPTOSHOP.

OPTOMAN manufactures a range of application-optimized custom laser optics. To achieve highest possible accuracy, repeatability and quality we employ ion-beam sputtering (IBS) technology. Custom-tailored IBS-coated optics, with spectral range from 193 nm up to 5000 nm and size range from 3 mm up to 420 mm, feature high LIDT, precise spectral accuracy, durability and environmental stability.

Some of the special custom optics we do for our clients include: knife-edge coated optics, 100% coated aperture components, segmented coatings, coatings on multi-surface prisms, coatings on micro lens assemblies, fast axis collimators, fibers, end caps and large diameter wafers.

OPTOMAN manufactures high quality deformable mirrors, also called membrane mirrors, solely with Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) technology. The key advantage of our membrane mirrors lies in the ability to apply high-quality IBS dielectric coatings while maintaining precise surface flatness, even on extremely thin substrates. This ensures excellent optical performance and long-term reliability, providing a significant improvement in system efficiency and reducing distortion. Moreover, these optics feature an enhanced lifetime, reducing the need for frequent replacements and significantly lowering the total cost of ownership.

OPTOMAN's IBS-coated dichroic mirrors feature spectral drift-free performance, which is why very sharp edge configurations are feasible. IBS coated wavelength separators feature spectral drift-free performance that allows very sharp edge configurations. OPTOMAN can make mirrors with transmittance over 99% and reflectance over 99.9%. Our Dichroic mirrors are optimized for high power laser applications providing the best possible extinction ratio between transmitted and reflected laser beams and feature minimum pulse dispersion.

OPTOMAN can guide you through the features of dispersive mirror designs and manufacture optimal optics for your laser system. Dispersive mirrors come in two main types: GTI mirrors, which provide high dispersion over narrow bandwidths, and chirped mirrors, which offer broader spectral coverage with lower GDD, ideal for compensating bulk materials. OPTOMAN dispersive mirrors can be designed for any specific GDD requirement from slightly negative (−20 fs²) up to ±10000 fs².

Standard in-stock low GDD mirrors can be found in OPTOSHOP.

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.
