Omega Optical is capable to provide patterned metallic coatings for vacuum applications where a window or filter needs to be soldered in place.

Omega has the ability to coat large plates and dice down to sub-millimeter scale, or even coat onto individual ~150 micron optical fibers!

Dr Ian Walker, executive director of policy at Cancer Research UK, said: “Today is a significant step forward in the journey to creating a smokefree UK.

An anti-reflective coating (AR coating) enhances transmittance. AR coatings improve the efficiency of optical instruments, enhance contrast in imaging devices, and reduces scattered light that can interfere with the optical performance of telescopes, cameras, and binoculars, and decreases glare on eyeglasses.

Professor Sanjay Agrawal, NHS England national speciality advisor for tobacco dependency said: “NHS treatments, including nicotine replacement therapy, are helping thousands of adults each year to live healthier lives and we have seen adult smoking rates drop by more than half in the last three decades.

Omega Optical has coated over 1.7 million plastic optics over the past 8 years without a single field failure. We specialize in coating plastic & acrylic substrates for optical and decorative applications.

“Smoking causes harm across the life course from stillbirths, asthma in children, cancers, strokes and heart attacks to premature dementia.”

Diamond-like-carbon coatings are used across many industries in magnetic storage disks, car and engine parts, biomedical implants, and cutting and forming tools. They are a preferred choice in defense and security applications where environmental factors necessitate an anti-reflective coating with high durability and ability to withstand harsh conditions.

“We urge all MPs to prioritise the nation’s health by voting in favour of the Bill and ensuring that this historic legislation is implemented across the UK.”

We can coat single optics up to 3 meters in diameter with high uniformity, OR gigantic batches of components. DUV to FarIR, millimeter to meter-class optics, NO ONE else provides such a broad capability and capacity.

Indoor smoking ban powers could also be extended to some outdoor spaces, with children’s playgrounds, and outside schools and hospitals being considered.

The Bill will introduce restrictions on vape advertising and sponsorship, as well as restricting flavours, displays and the packaging of e-cigarettes to reduce their appeal to children and young people.

“This Government is taking bold action to create the first smoke-free generation, clamp down on kids getting hooked on nicotine through vapes, and protect children and vulnerable people from the harms of secondhand smoke.

In August, reports suggested suggested ministers were considering banning smoking in some outdoor areas, such as beer gardens and outside stadiums, to improve public health.

Our ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities ensure the highest quality control standards through process discipline. USA-based manufacturing locations in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont enable us to serve our customers nimbly, shortening lead times and often allowing our customers to accelerate their time to market.

He said: “This is a major piece of legislation which if passed will have a positive and lasting impact on the health of the nation.

“But there is more to do, so we welcome this public health intervention and look forward to working with government to help the next generation grow up smoke and vape-free.”

Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: ”Unless we act to help people stay healthy, the rising tide of ill health in our society threatens to overwhelm and bankrupt our NHS. Prevention is better than cure.

Hazel Cheeseman, chief executive at Action on Smoking (Ash), described the Bill as a “world-leading piece of legislation”.

Highly reflective coatings, sometimes referred to as HR or mirror coatings, can be designed to reflect a broad range of wavelengths or selected wavelengths.

“Over the last 50 years smoking has taken more than eight million lives in the UK. The health community and the public support the Government in this historic effort to phase out the sale of tobacco.

“A smokefree country would prevent disease, disability and premature deaths for children born today and for people long into the future.

Oleophobic & hydrophobic coating is a type of Broadband Anti Reflective (BBAR) coating that resists water, oil, smudges and fingerprints. It is ideal for windows and lenses which are exposed to high-touch or harsh environments. We can coat glass or plastic substrates up to 36″ diameter or 12″ x 30″ rectangular plates.

With 66 precision optical coating chambers, Omega Optical is capable to coat the equivalent area of eight regulation soccer fields (yes, 120 by 80 yards)!

Coatings designed and manufactured using dielectric materials can be tailored to balance specific transmission, reflection, and beam splitting requirements in addition to durability requirements.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill, which prevents anyone born after January 1 2009 from legally smoking by gradually raising the age at which tobacco can be bought, will be introduced in the House of Commons on Tuesday.

Metallic mirror coating allows you to choose the optimum spectral range of reflectivity and durability for both large and small components. Metallic mirror coating materials include aluminum, silver, rhodium, and gold. Protected and enhanced mirror coatings are available as well.

According to the Department of Health and Social Care, the number of cancers caused by smoking has increased by 17% since 2003.

“This historic legislation will save thousands of lives and protect the NHS. By building a healthy society, we will also help to build a healthy economy, with fewer people off work sick.”

She added: “It opens up an important debate about smoking and how long we are prepared to tolerate the incredible harms it does to our society.

“By increasing the age of sale of tobacco products and properly funding cessation services, the government can build a healthier future, prevent cancer, and protect people from a lifetime of deadly and costly addiction.
