Coating Guide extended
The menu section Coating guide on top
became an extension. Our Coating specials
give you a brief overview of the specialities
LASEROPTIK is able to serve:
optimized coating designs and techniques,
substrate handling and coating fixtures.

25years-SignLASEROPTIK 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.

Variables




Variable Attenuator
Gradient Coating

for
changing the transmission/ reflection ratio with the angle, used as variable attenuator, or, with the beam position, used as
- gradient output coupler
- gradient attenuator
- gradient pass filter
- gradient interference filter




VA

Variable Attenuator
Transmission can be varied continuously by changing the AOI (e.g. 0-45°)

also available as
- Inversely Variable Attenuator IVA


GOC

Gradient Output Coupler
Transmission can be varied continuously by shifting a rectangular plate across the beam (right-middle-left position)


GP

Gradient Pass Coating
By shifting a rectangular plate across the beam, the incoming light will be passed through (right position) or will be blocked (left position), shown as
- Gradient Short Pass GSP

also available as
- Gradient Long Pass GLP

GNF

Gradient Notch Filter
By shifting a rectangular plate across the beam, the band around 1 will be passed through (right position) or will be blocked (left position) and reversely for 2


GIF

Gradient Interference filter
By shifting a rectangular plate across the beam (left-right position), various wavelengths can be selected, e.g. for fast external change of multiline noble gas ion lasers
