Optimized thin film coatingswith 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.

Ion Assisted Deposition
is based on coating systems as described before for Electron Beam Deposition (EBD) with the addition of a plasma source. It is directed onto the calotte and provides a bombardment of the substrates with energetic (ca.150eV) reactive Argon and Oxygen ions.
The plasma is generated by a DC-discharge with RF-heated cathode.
Caused by the strong discharge of ca. 40 amps, the molecules in the vapour are activated and ionized and lead to a better oxidation and a denser layer structure. Thermal shift due to water incorporation can be eliminated by this technique.
