Properties
and Application
|
|
|
Single
Layer MgF2
|
Applied
to materials with refractive indices from 1.45
to 2.4. The most popular antireflection coating
for visible. They are insensitive to change in
incidence angles.
|
|
Multilayer
"V"
|
Used
to provide low reflectance with in a narrow durable
wavelength band for most laser application. Minimum
reflection can be less than 0.1%
|
|
Broadband
Multilayer
|
These
coatings have excellent performance over a broad
spectral range broadband. Coating performance
is sensitive to angle of incidence.
|
|
Dual
Wavelength Band
|
Offer
very low reflectance at two widely spaced wavelengths,
such as Nd:YAG Laser (1064) and its second harmonic
(532) . Tempotec makes this a double wavelength waveplate.
|
|
|
Narrow
Band
|
Provide
50% reflection and transmission at an angle of
45กใ incidence for a single wavelength. Perfect
for beamsplitters application. Transmission/reflection
(T/R) ratio of 20/80, or others for Beamsplitter
is available upon request.
|
|
Broadband
|
Over
a wide bandwidth provides 50% reflection and transmission.
Tempotec can also provide coatings with different
R/T ratios at and specific angle of incident.
|
|
|
Laser
Line Polarization Beamsplitter
|
High
reflection for s-polarized and antireflection
for p-polarized for laser application.
|
|
Broadband
Polarization Beamsplitter
|
Wide
wavelength bandwidth provide high reflection to
s-polarized and antiflection to p-polarized
|
|
Dichroic
Beamsplitters Mirrors
|
These
coatings can separate the laser fundamental and
the pump wavelength, or the fundamental and the
second harmonic. They are specific applied to
laser mirror.
|
|
|
Dielectric
High Reflective Coatings
|
Provide
high reflectance over a broad bandwidth, and is
ideal for a tunable laser or in white light applications.
|
|
Metallic
High Reflective Coatings
|
Metallic
coatings have low peak reflectance, mechanical
durability and damage threshold, but they have
extremely broadband and low cost. They are insensitivity
to angle of incident light and polarization.
