Coating technologies

3photon engineers are experienced in market-tested electron beam evaporation (EBE), ion-assisted deposition (IAD), and the more advanced ion beam sputtering (IBS) technologies. This expertise enables our engineers to select or recommend the most optimal technology for your application based on your specific requirements.

We can apply coatings to various types of polymers, optical glass, and crystal materials, including laser crystals, Q-switch crystals, non-linear crystals, and infrared crystals.

A key advantage of our team is the ability to work with sensitive and soft materials, allowing our engineers to apply coatings to crystals with both low and high MoHs hardness.

The table below provides a comparison of all three technologies available at the 3photon optical coating facility.
