Optical Coatings
02

Optical Coatings

Engineered through precisely controlled multilayer deposition that balances spectral performance, laser damage threshold, and environmental durability in a single stack. Low-loss, multispectral designs enable high-resolution imaging, targeting, and sensing across VIS, NIR, SWIR, and MWIR, in laser and directed energy architectures alike.

Spectral
Tuned across VIS, NIR, SWIR, and MWIR, with multispectral, low-loss designs for high-resolution imaging and sensing
LIDT
Optimized for high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) in laser and directed energy environments
Durability
Engineered for durable multilayer performance under operational conditions
Production
Scalable to engineered optical assemblies, with lot-to-lot repeatability

Advanced Infrared & Tactical Coatings

Protective and spectral coatings engineered to keep sensing, targeting, and electro-optical systems performing when conditions are at their worst. From diamond-like carbon (DLC) protection to custom infrared spectral designs, our coatings maximize durability, optical performance, and production readiness across today’s most demanding defense applications.

Survivability
Protection against abrasion, erosion, corrosion, rain, sand, and salt fog
Spectral
Stress-balanced MWIR and LWIR optimization custom-engineered to system-level electro-optical requirements
Materials
Zinc sulfide (ZnS), zinc selenide (ZnSe), germanium (Ge), silicon (Si), chalcogenides, and other IR substrates
Production
Prototype through full-rate manufacturing, with advanced metrology and precision cleaning for lot-to-lot consistency
