For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...
Glass processing has evolved into one of the most demanding fields in precision manufacturing, with components measured in ...
The international optical and photonic components market reached over $300 billion in 2020. Optical processing starts with raw materials and finishes with finely crafted optical components. The ...
Antireflective coatings employ engineered thin films or nanostructures to reduce Fresnel reflections at interfaces between optical media and air. Conventional approaches rely on single or multilayer ...
For more than a century, optical coatings have been used to better reflect certain wavelengths of light from lenses and other devices or, conversely, to better transmit certain wavelengths through ...
Materials get their optical properties based on how much they reflect, absorb or transmit different wavelengths (colors) of light. Usually optical coatings either reflect or transmit a given color of ...
Analytical modeling is used to estimate coating-contributed transmitted wavefront error in precision optical coatings.
Researchers have developed a silicon coating that, when applied to the surface of a glass lens, can counteract the effects of dispersion. Quick bursts of laser light, lasting less than a trillionth of ...
Case Western Reserve researchers, collaborators create new class of thin film coating; innovative technology could solve major hurdles for solar energy generation Researchers at Case Western Reserve ...
One of the staple materials of architecture is glass, but it can constitute a weak point in the thermal performance of buildings if left untreated. The optical and thermal properties of architectural ...
Research Fellow Dr. Babak Bakhit has encountered one of his most challenging projects to date—contributing to the European Space Agency's (ESA) JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission. Sometimes, ...
