AR Coating performance depends on multiple specifications. Material selection, coating deposition type, material, bandwidth, angle of incidence, and wavelength are all factors to consider when designing your optimal AR Coating. ARO can select from E-beam, magnetron sputtering, IBS, and ion-assisted deposition coating techniques based on your environmental, laser damage threshold, and wavelength requirements. Optical coatings technology can be used with a wide range of substrate material including FS, CaF2, MgF2, BK7, and others. ARO is able to reach the lowest reflectivity specifications for narrowband coatings at normal incident angles. Broadband AR coatings see a trade-off between bandwidth and reflectivity. Reach out to our sales team, so we can help you select the best custom AR coating for your application.

We have been depositing and optimizing Anti-Reflective (AR) Coatings for laser applications. In our industry, every photon of light matters. That’s why we have designed our AR coatings to optimize transmission through optical components by minimizing front and backside reflection losses. AR Coatings are typically used on windows and lenses to reduce reflection losses to optimize the transmission through the optic. ARO can also apply AR coatings to the backside of optics including polarizers and partial reflectors to minimize back side reflection. ARO has the capability to optimize AR coatings for narrow, multiband, and broadband specifications. We have custom AR coatings available from 193nm to 3000nm with particular experience optimizing 193, 248, 308, and 1063 nm coatings.

Light waves are transverse: that is, the vibrating electric vector associated with each wave is perpendicular to the direction of propagation. A beam of unpolarized light consists of waves moving in the same direction with their electric vectors pointed in random orientations about the axis of propagation. Plane polarized light consists of waves in which the direction of vibration is the same for all waves. In circular polarization the electric vector rotates about the direction of propagation as the wave progresses. Light may be polarized by reflection or by passing it through filters, such as certain crystals, that transmit vibration in one plane but not in others.
