ZC&R Coatings for Optics (ZC&R), an Abrisa Technologies company, designs and manufactures innovative precision thin film optical coating solutions for Micro-electronics, Defense and Avionics, Display, Industrial Automation, Optical Sensors and Imaging, Photonics, Medical/Dental, Life Science Analytics, and other market applications. Custom designed and standard optical coatings are available for use from 200nm in the UV up to 20 microns in the far infrared, with thicknesses of a few angstroms to 10’s of microns. We use advanced Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including sputtering and Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD) e-beam to deposit optical coatings on a variety of materials including fabricated and polished glass, HIE™ aluminosilicates, wafers, ceramics, crystalline quartz, filter glass, IR materials, polished metals, and other materials of our and customer furnished supply.

Opticalcoating process

Cold & Hot Mirrors assist with redirecting infrared (heat) & light where best utilized or removed. ITO coated Total Solutions are electrically activated so as to heat surfaces for anti-fogging, de-icing & maintaining temperature while imaging.

Optical coatingsfor lenses

Custom Indium Tin Oxide & Index-Matched Indium Tin Oxide (ITO/IMITO) coatings for photonics. Optimized for durability & index matched for transmittance in excess of 98%. Optional glare reducing broadband & laser line anti-reflective properties.

Lindsay graduated with First Class Honours from the University of Greenwich and earned her Science Communication MSc at Imperial College London. Now with many years’ experience as a Head of Physics and Examiner for A Level and IGCSE Physics (and Biology!), her love of communicating, educating and Physics has brought her to Save My Exams where she hopes to help as many students as possible on their next steps.

AR coatings are all dielectric single or multi-layers, designed to minimize losses & reduce ghost imaging caused by surface reflections in the UV, visible, near & far IR. They can be designed for laser lines or broadband use & range of angles.

Types of lens coating for glasses

An experiment was set up to investigate light passing through a diffraction grating with a slit spacing of 1.7 µm. The fringe pattern was observed on a screen. The wavelength of the light is 550 nm.Calculate the angle α between the two second-order lines.

Take care that the angle θ is the correct angle taken from the centre and not the angle taken between two orders of maxima.

Abrisa Technologies, your Total Solution Partner from concept to production.

Unique optical coatings designed to meet rigorous optical specifications as well as thermal, mechanical, weathering or bio compatibility requirements for challenging use environments as medical, dental, military, outdoor, UV/IR & high heat.

Beam Splitters separate incoming light into two beams. In reverse, they combine. Partial transmitters allow a portion of incoming light to pass & reject the rest. Can be metallic, dielectric or a mix & rejected light absorbed, reflected or both.

Reflective & partially reflective coatings for laser beam steering, imaging, scanning, LiDAR, visible signal suppression, heat management of illumination sources. Metallic, dielectric & hybrid cut-to-order & custom from mm to meter sizes.

Types ofoptical coatings

Coated solutions designed to manage UV & IR content along with visible light spectrum from broadband lighting, solar sources & lasers. Solutions to enhance or block throughput, filter for select UV, provide solar suppression & manage heat and IR.

Solutions promoting color or signal separation, signal and “color” isolation, color temperature correction, aesthetic lighting effects, selective wavelength or color illumination, Dichroic color separation, filters for Heads Up Display (HUD).

Cold mirrors reflect UV or the visible & transmit the infrared (heat) at temperatures to ≥400°C. Hot mirrors or shortwave pass filters (SWP) reflect the infrared & separate it from an application. ITO heated windows heat to an ambient temperature.

Coatings as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) are used to shield electromagnetic interference (EMI) while transmitting high levels of visible light or displayed image, to heat windows for anti-fogging & serve as transparent electrodes for LC based devices.
