Description:Professional-grade Performance: K&F Concept polarizing film utilizes specially crafted optical film from Nisshin, high transmittance for 380-700mm unpolarized light and a polarization rate of up to 99.99%.Premium Specifications: The polarizing film sheet measures 7.8x11.8 inches (20x30cm) and boasts a thickness of 0.21mm. It features a protective film on both sides, with one side being adhesive and the other side non-adhesive (please remove the protective film on the adhesive side before use).Easy Identification: The polarizing film is clearly labeled with red and blue stickers. The red sticker indicates the adhesive side, while the blue sticker indicates the non-adhesive side (tear a little protective film at the corners to confirm the stickiness, do not tear it all apart).Simple Application: While keeping the power on, take the screen as the center point, the sticky side is overlapped on the screen, and the polarizing film rotates 360 degrees clockwise. Find a clear location, and mark the location. After cleaning the surface of any dust particles, cut the film to the desired shape and apply it for immediate use.Package Including: High Contrast linear polarizing film *1 + scraper*1 + dry wipe *1+moist wipe*1, ensures no air bubble in sticking. Wide Application for Motorcycle dashboard display, small-size screen, and electronic watch screen, can also be used for physical experiments on birefringence, light scattering, polarized light and light reflection.

Our continuous and pulsed wavelength (CW/PW) high-power laser coatings have been applied in some of the world’s most demanding CW laser systems, offering a laser damage threshold of >10 MW/cm2 plus low defect counts and low absorption.

Every optical application requires a “clean” optical surface. However, what defines “clean” is subjective and is based on the needs of the application.

Space can be a harsh environment for optical coatings. Our engineering team has successfully provided antireflection (AR) coatings for a wide range of space applications. Our coatings have been qualified for many missions, demonstrating:

Optical engineers must go through a detailed decision-making process when designing high-precision optical components. At Optimax, we have years of experience supporting manufacturing teams in critical application areas with high-performance optical coatings that stand up to the harshest operating conditions. We consider the needs of our valued customers at every step of the fabrication process and strive to deliver optical coatings which go beyond standard specifications.

Optical coatingprocess

With a continuously expanding coating facility and a solutions-based approach to optical coatings, we have overcome a range of critical issues for our customers. We can coat substrates up to 500mm with capabilities extending into the directed energy market (IBS coatings), OTR coatings, and low-stress coatings.

Tightening specifications and increasing demands for high performance optical coatings continue to drive advancements in many areas of the optical manufacturing industry.

Completing our suite of deposition equipment, we are developing a new Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) System with different substrate configurations.

We have also developed highly uniform filters for ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet (UV/DUV) lithography applications, supplying the world's lithographic engineers with optical substrates qualified for more than a billion cycles of KrF illumination with no spectral degradation.

Optimax has developed a novel optical coating (OTR‐AR). OTR coatings have been demonstrated to provide excellent resistance to latent scratching, staining and dimming of chemically sensitive optical glass surfaces in …
