Laser Components: customized laser optics since 1986
Laser Components began coating individual laser optics almost 40 years ago. These are used in laser processes in numerous industries, including medicine, defense, aerospace and laser material processing.
The increasing laser power in the industry requires complex optics with high reflectivity and laser damage threshold with minimal thermal drift of the coating. Laser Components ensures that the manufactured lenses, mirrors and diagnostic optics achieve good values in terms of reflection, transmission, absorption, LIDT and thermal stability.
The coating center has several modern systems for the three most important processes: E-Beam/PVD (Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition), PIAD (Plasma-Assisted Ion Deposition) and IBS (Ion Beam Sputtering).
In order to further increase the performance of the coating design, the company is also involved in the development of quantum nanolaminates. This technology should enable targeted modulation of optical and mechanical properties in the future.
At Photonics West in San Francisco, which will take place from January 20 to 22, 2026 (booth #1349), the company will kick off its anniversary year with a focus on its laser optics.
