IBS Coatings

Perkins Precision Developments (PPD) manufactures custom IBS coated laser mirrors, beam splitters, polarizers and other precision optical components for wavelengths from 266nm to 3um. PPD utilizes Ion Beam Sputtered coating technology because it is ideal for complex spectral designs, high power Nd:YAG & fiber lasers and applications where it is critical to minimize losses from absorption andor scatter. IBS thin films have densely packed micro-structures resulting in stable, easy to clean optics that are insensitive to environmental changes such as heat, humidity and pressure.
Common coating types include high power high reflectors (HR), broadband reflectors (BBHR), low-loss anti-reflection (AR), dual-band anti-reflection (DBAR), dichroic beam splitters, output couplers, low phase shift mirrors, low dispersion mirrors, edge filters, band-pass filters, polarizers, non-polarizers and protected metal designs.
We are often asked for AR coatings with damage thresholds of 20J or sometimes even 40J at 1064nm. Click here for recent results showing test data from two different thin film coating runs that withstood more than 60 Jcm2, peak fluence! Low-loss: Low scattering, low absorption
High damage thresholds (pulsed & CW)
High reflectivity (R > 99.99%)
Ultra low reflectivity (R
Environmental stability
Durability (easy to clean)
