Optimized thin film coatings
with IBS
This article (in german) by Dr. Wolfgang Ebert and Tobias Groß (published in "Laser+Photonik", Iss. 1, March 2010, p. 30-34) discusses and compares the different coating methods found at LASEROPTIK with focus on IBS process and its special possibilities.

LASEROPTIK started an "open door" day on September 3.,2009. A lot of visitors came in to congratulate, celebrate and inform themselves about the capabilities of our production. A photo gallery of LO OPEN can be seen here or at menu item "About us > 25th anniversary".
A short article (in german) describes the day and the celebrations at the "Laserhof" in Garbsen.

		Partial Reflection Coating for splitting or reducing the incoming light, used as - partial reflector - output coupler - attenuator - beam splitter, also available as - non polarizing beam splitter
For PR coatings with areas of high transmission see : coating type "Filter" (HR/PR+HT combined)
PR with fixed reflection/transmission ratio
PR		Single PR Coating Constant reflection / transmission for one single wavelength or a narrow band
DPR		Double PR Coating Constant reflection / transmission for two wavelengths, ratio can be optimized separately
BBPR		Broad Band PR Coating Constant reflection / transmission for a broadband wavelength area
PR changes reflection/transmission ratio with AOI
VA		Variable Attenuator Transmission can be varied continuously by changing the AOI (e.g. 0-45°), also available as Inversely Variable Attenuator IVA
PR changes reflection/transmission ratio with beam position
GOC		Gradient Output Coupler Transmission can be varied continuously by shifting a rectangular plate across the beam (right-middle-left position)
