The November 2021 issue of Coating Materials News & More explores the essential considerations related to producing stable optical coatings and materials for use in spaceflight applications.
Advances in thin-film coating technology during the past decades have focused on improving the quality of deposited layers through refinements in materials and deposition processes.
Materion introduces innovative fluoride starter sources for quality thin film optical coating.
In this article we will look into several critical fluoride compounds for UV, VIS & IR films.
Ion beam sputtering (IBS) was developed to enhance these properties: environmental stability, laser damage threshold and optical absorption. IBS today produces the highest quality oxide-compound films.
Materion's expanded fluoride portfolio spans the optics, photovoltaic, phosphor & battery materials industries with products to suit multiple applications.
