An HF Laser is a infrared chemical laser, and operates at 2.7-2.9 µm or (with deuterium in the place of hydrogen) at 3.8 µm.  The Tactical High Energy Laser and MIRACL lasers are of this deuterium fluoride type.

Internal mirrors include output couplers, which have two coatings: an anti-reflective coating to improve transmission as a partially reflective coating on the inner surface. This coating is meant to reflect a given percentage of the beam to the resonator.

To find out exactly how much an anti-reflective coating will cost, discuss all your options and needs with your local optician.

Infrared coatings is an optical coating optimized for the infrared region, between 2.5μm(2500nm) and 16μm. Optical thin films are vacuum deposited on the substrate to enhance performance. An AR coating, otherwise known as an anti-reflection coating, will decrease reflection on a substrate and may be used to increase transmission. Reflective coatings are used on beam splitters to increase reflectance and create a mirror surface, where infrared radiation is reflected back to the source or at an angle.

When looking through glasses without any anti-reflective coating, there may be glare on screens, around lights (such as car headlights at night), or reflections off of surfaces which can impede vision.

Thus, any lens that is to be tinted – whether for a sunglass tint, a cosmetic tint, or a tint for visual symptoms – should not have an anti-reflective coating on the lens.

Anti-reflective coatings prevent lights in the environment from creating reflections on the lenses which will then obscure the view of the eyes when looking from the outside.

The anti-reflective coating is specifically designed to neutralize reflections from the lenses both going into and coming from the glasses.

Anti-reflective coatings are also used to prevent reflections from the glasses when viewed by another person or in a camera.

Er:Yag lasers are solid state lasers which operate at 2.94 microns. They are chiefly used in medical and dental applications, and a series of infrared mirrors are an important part of the laser setup. These may be metal mirrors or mirrors formed by optical thin films, vacuum deposited on the substrate.  Internal mirrors (resonators) form a reflective resonator around the Nd:YAG crystal and in doing so generate, maintain, and amplify the laser beam.  External mirrors include bending mirrors, which are used to direct the laser beam toward the subject. These mirrors feature dielectric coatings which reflect most of the laser beams.

Anyone who is frequently photographed, videoed, or speaks publicly must consider adding an anti-reflective coating to their glasses as a way to minimize these obscurations.

At Shanghai Optics we have more than 55 years of experience in producing high quality optics, and infrared coatings are one of our areas of expertise. If you are unsure as to what coating best fits your application, don’t hesitate to call us: we’d be happy to provide the design help and consulting you need to achieve ideal results. Choose from our wide range of in stock options, or work with us to come up with custom coating services that meet your individual needs.

However, everyone can benefit from having an anti-reflective coating on their glasses whether it is for a better-quality family picture or simply to have others be able to clearly see their eyes in all lighting environments.

This coating is clear but may have a slight tint or color when held at an angle and viewed. This comes from the fact that not all colors of light are reflected the same.

Anti Reflective coatingPhysics

Tints are applied to a lens after the anti-reflective coating would have to be applied. If an anti-reflective coating is on the lens, the tint will not work as well to dye the lens.

A vision benefit plan, sometimes called vision insurance, will often have a reduced copay for adding an anti-reflective coating to glasses.

Anti reflective coatingmaterial

High energy CO2 laser coatings are optimized for 10.6μm. Typically ZnSe or GaAs lenses are used for this application, and a special durable coating is needed: an ordinary antireflection coating would quickly get damaged by the high power laser beam.  High efficiency and a high damage threshold are both key properties of CO2 laser coatings.

At Shanghai Optics we also provide a variety of infrared thin film coatings for infrared imaging systems. Magnesium fluoride windows are available with anti reflective coatings optimized for 3.5-4.8μm, with a transmission of greater than 95 percent over those spectral regions.  Our ZnSe/ZnS/Ge Substrate Lens comes with a range of coating optimized for two spectral regions: 3.5-5.5μm, where transmission is greater than 98%, and 7.5-11.5μm, where transmission is greater than 97%.  Silicon lenses are available with coatings optimized for  3.5-5μm (transmission 98%) and 7.5-11.5μm (transmission greater than 60%).

In extreme bright light, such as a sunny day on a lake, there will still be some reflections from the water, but it will be much less visually bothersome.

Another type of internal mirror is a rear mirror, which reflects nearly all of the laser beam back through the crystal to be amplified. While the outside surface does not need to be coated, the inside surface has a high reflection coating that reflects 99% or more infrared light.

Infrared coatings are primarily used in industrial and medical laser equipment, for CO2 laser, Er:Yag laser, Co and HF lasers.

Anti-reflective coatings can be applied to almost any type of glasses. The type of prescription – single vision, bifocal, or no line bifocal – will not be a factor in whether or not an anti-reflective coating can be used.

The cost of adding an anti-reflective coating to a pair of new glasses will vary based on the quality of the anti-reflective coating purchased and if any vision benefit plan discount is available.

We carry in stock Calcium Fluoride and Sapphire Crystal lenses, with a special infrared coating that exhibits high reflectivity (less than 0.2 percent light reflected).

Today, whenever you purchase a new pair of eyeglasses, you will almost always be offered to add an anti-glare or anti-reflective coating on to the lenses. This coating provides many vision and cosmetic benefits.
