  • Precision optical filters are a key component of many industrial products of optical technologies. Applications range from laser technology to medical and bioprocess engineering, display and automotive to the solar industry. Due to the ever-increasing technological demands as well as the increasing competition from low-wage countries, the demand for better, more flexible and at the same time economical production process for optical precision coatings is growing. Today's processes increasingly come up against technological limits with particularly high demands: increasing scrap, too little long-term stability and the

Nanodefects are playing an increasingly important role in high performance optics for ultra-short pulse or uv laser applications.
  • a disadvantage of this dynamic stabilization is that even with optimal control small residual fluctuations of the process conditions and thus also the stoichiometry of the layer can not be avoided, which can lead to low inhomogeneities and thus to loss mechanisms.
