COATINGS

Overview

ISP Optics thin film coating lab offers a broad variety of deposition technologies allowing us to create custom coating solutions for the most demanding applications. ISP Optics utilizes multiple coating processes and technologies including thermal resistance and electron beam Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) to cover a wide range of design solutions over many different types of substrates.

ISP Optics are experts in optical thin film designs, with extensive experience designing virtually every type of thin film (antireflection, high reflection, partial reflection, bandpass, etc.). We focus on leading the industry in applications in SWIR, MWIR, LWIR, and multiband hyperspectral regions as well as moisture protective coatings on hygroscopic crystals including KBr and KRS. ISP Optics is known in the industry for world class solutions for laser designator and rangefinder applications, Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), and Thermal Imaging.
