Thin Film Coatings
SLS Optics offers market-leading performance in laser optics and thin-film coatings. Whether you are looking for a standard process from our library of coatings or something more highly specialised, our thin-film designers and coating engineers will use the latest software and proven production techniques to provide you with a solution.
We manufacture a wide range of custom and standard OEM optics, on our
own substrates or customer-supplied components, for a variety of industrial
and scientific laser-based applications . We offer high performance
optics, including coatings optimized for excimer laser and
Nd:YAG fundamental and harmonic wavelengths. These coatings set
the standard for damage resistance and longevity. For example, beamsteering
mirrors at 1053nm manufactured by SLS Optics have consistently achieved
a laser damage threshold of >20 J cm -2 in 3ns.
At SLS Optics, we aim to continually improve our manufacturing processes and metrology techniques in order to supply the market with high quality products at competitive prices and on time.
Our philosophy is based upon:
- proven manufacturing processes
- the use of the best available materials
- extensive investment in production and metrology equipment
- experienced and skilled staff
- product development in collaboration with customers
- attention to detail
- ISO 9001:2000 accreditation ensuring traceability and control of systems
SLS coatings have been tested for laser damage threshold by the following organisations:
- CLRC - Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (1053nm)
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1053nm and 351nm)
- Big Sky Laser Technologies, Inc (1535nm)
