Optical Coatings

Deposition Sciences (Santa Rosa, CA) has introduced optical coatings on plastic materials and substrates. The new optical thin-film coatings can be deposited on materials such as Ultem®, Zeonex®, and a variety of polycarbonate plastics. The coatings operate from the visible through the infrared spectral wavelengths. Thin-film plastic coatings are used for diverse applications where light weight is specified, such as UAV optics and photovoltaic solar systems. The coatings include bandpass filters, dichroic coatings, high reflectors, and various metal coatings.
