Anti-Reflection Coating

Product information "Anti-Reflection Coating"

Together with our supplier Vortex we provide broadband and V-style anti-reflection (AR) coating from 300 nm to 6000 nm. We offer AR coatings service on your optics with an unrivalled rapid turnaround or can also supply “make complete” AR-coated optics with substrates sourced through one of our trusted suppliers.

Our AR coatings can be customized to your application’s requirements – contact the AMS Technologies experts today to discuss your customized anti-reflection coating solution!

Broadband AR Coating
A number of standard broadband processes covering many spectral regions is available that can also be adjusted for your specific requirements, e.g. the coating’s properties can be moved to a number of different bands if required. Some examples of broadband AR coatings:

Broadband AR Coatings   
Optimized Wavelength Substrate Average Reflection Within Wavelength Band
AR 400-700 nm Glass <0.5%
AR 400-900 nm Glass <1.0%
AR 400-1100 nm Fused Silica <1.0%
AR 400-1700 nm Sapphire <3.5%
AR 400-2500 nm Sapphire <8.0%

 

V-Coating
As a special type of anti-reflective coating, V-coatings improve transmission in a very narrow wavelength range around the design wavelength. This type of coating is called a "V-coating" because the curve of the reflection over the wavelength resembles the letter "V", with a minimum at the design wavelength. Both single- and multiple-wavelength V-coat processes are available for laser and LED applications covering a range from 300 nm to 6000 nm, with maximum reflection of <0.25% per surface at the designated wavelength. Some examples of V-coatings:

V-Coatings    
Optimized Wavelength Substrate Reflection
V-Coat 633 nm BK7 <0.25%
V-Coat 1064 nm BK7 <0.25%
V-Coat 1550 nm Sapphire <0.25%

V-Coat 532_1064 nm BK7 <0.25%
V-Coat 532_1064_1550 nm BK7 <0.25%
V-Coat 532_633_780_1064_1550 nm BK7 <0.25%

 

Infrared AR Coating
Infrared anti-reflection coating can be provided anywhere between 0.7 µm and 6 µm on Glass, Silicon, Germanium, Sapphire, Barium Fluoride, Calcium Fluoride, Gallium Arsenide etc. to suit your specification. Some examples of infrared AR coatings:

Manufacturer "Vortex"
Located in the middle of the UK, Vortex was founded in 2008 by a team of optical coating experts with many years of experience in the photonics industry. Vortex designs and manufactures infrared filters and coatings, visible filters, anti-reflection coatings, infrared linear variable filters (LVF), beamsplitters, and dichroics with outstanding speed and quality. While traditionally thermal evaporation has been used for IR filters, Vortex’s IR filters are deposited by sputtering, using the company’s own “Rockard”© technology, and thus ensuring highly durable coatings suitable for the toughest environments, extremely low temperature shift, reduced passband ripple and high blocking efficiency to increase signal-to-noise ratio. Vortex offers the complete value chain from coating services (coating customers’ components with ultra-short response times) to supplying also the substrates, thus providing full manufacture of optics, all the way to delivering custom filters and windows in OEM/production volumes – on time for production programs where quality, price, consistency and on-time delivery are key.

AFS-G/SFS-G/AGI-G/ASI-G Gold Coated High Temperature Fibers
Gold Coated, Single Mode, Multi Mode; 190 to 2400 nm; Core Diameter 50 to 400 µm; Mode Field Diameter 4.3, 9.0 µm; Cladding Diameter 125 to 440 µm; Numerical Aperture 0.12 to 0.275Fiberguide’s AFS-G/SFS-G/AGI-G/ASI-G series of gold coated high temperature optical fibers is designed to achieve the widest temperature range (-269 to +700 °C) of any optical fiber on the market. This, combined with excellent corrosion resistance, and the fiber’s ability to be soldered or brazed, makes it the ideal fiber for many high temperature applications such as turbine flame monitoring, oil and gas down-hole sensing, and high vacuum or pressure applications. As an option, some types of gold coated high temperature fibers can be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Some of the fibers can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications. Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.Key Features: Multi Mode (Step/Graded Index) or Single Mode Fibers Pure/Germanium Doped Fused Silica Core, Fluorine Doped/Pure Silica Cladding Coating: Gold Core / Cladding Sizes: 50/125 to 400/440 µm (MM) Mode Field Diameter / Cladding Sizes: 4.3/125, 9.0/125 µm (SM) Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.12 to 0.275 Recommended Bend Radius: Short Term 100 x Clad Diameter, Long Term 200 x Clad Diameter 100% Proof Test Using 4-Axis Bend Method Applications: Turbine Flame Monitoring; Oil and Gas Down-hole Sensing; High Vacuum Applications; High Pressure Applications
