Choosing the right optical coating supplier can make or break your project. At Penn Optical Coatings, we believe companies should ask: 🔹 Can they handle both low- and high-volume production with consistency? 🔹 Do they back coatings with ISO certification & MIL-standard durability testing? 🔹 Are they equipped for large optics and custom solutions like ITO? Our FAQ guide outlines what to look for in a trusted partner. Read it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghwhcJ8K #OpticalCoatings #PrecisionOptics #ThinFilmTechnology #MadeInUSA

Repeatable coating performance comes from controlling the process and measuring the result. At our Pennsburg, PA facility, we combine multiple deposition technologies with in-house metrology and environmental testing. ▪️ Deposition: electron-beam evaporation, ion-assisted deposition, plasma-assisted deposition, and thermal evaporation ▪️ Metrology: Agilent Cary and Shimadzu FTIR spectrophotometers ▪️ Environmental testing: adhesion, abrasion, temperature, humidity, salt spray, and salt solution That means we can match each coating to the substrate, spectral range, and conditions the optic will face.

Some research optics need more from a coating than low reflectance. For a Caltech project, we developed the tooling for a 30-inch optical mirror and applied a custom, electrically conducting anti-reflection coating in the infrared range. It’s an example of how coatings can be engineered around the specific demands of a scientific instrument.

In defense and aerospace, a reflection lost at a surface is a signal lost at the detector. Penn Optical Coatings has spent over 40 years designing anti-reflection coatings for demanding optics, including IR optics, target acquisition systems, windows, and range-finding components. We work with fabricators and OEMs on coatings and completed optics from 1 mm to 1 m.
