Siskiyou's gimbaled lens positioners cover a broad spectrum of optic configurations. The simple 2-axis models are the basis for more complex positioning requirements, including rotational positioning for polarizers or cylindrical lenses. All models use precision rolled 80TPI adjustment screws for pitch/yaw adjustment. The OG series of optical gimbal mounts is a compact and robust mounting platform for laser cavity applications. It uses color coded Soft Touch knob caps in both non-lockable and lockable versions. These knob caps are comfortable to use and provide quick axis location in low light conditions. The LDP laser diode positioner series is ideal for industrial applications.

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 CoatingA 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-CoatingAs 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 3300 nm CaF2 <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 CoatingInfrared 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.
