Coating Improves the Quality of Polymer Optics
Jenoptik offers a range of AR coatings that allow you to adapt light to meet your requirements.
Polymer optics are used in many different industries — in camera systems, head-up displays and reflectors for LED lighting. Polymer is ideal for these applications and can be manufactured in large quantities at a low cost. Coatings increase the quality of polymers significantly.
In this process, the optics are covered with a coating of thin metals and dielectrica. The coating is used for the reflection, antireflection, splitting or filtering of light beams. It can be used to suppress specific light components or prevent light reflections from occurring. All of our surfaces are protected against mechanical and chemical influences as well as scratches and dirt.
Optical coatings from Jenoptik offer impressive precision and reliability. Our experts regularly check our processes by means of measurements, analyses and climate testing. As we have many years of experience and a wealth of expertise, we can give you expert advice, when it comes to choosing the right coating for your requirements.
