| Coating | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Antireflection | Thin film coating used to reduce reflection. The idea behind anti-reflection coatings is that the creation of a double interface by means of a thin film gives you two reflected waves. If these waves are out of phase, they partially or totally cancel. If the coating is a quarter wavelength thickness and the coating has an index of refraction less that the glass it is coating then the two reflections are 180 degrees out of phase. | ||
| Beamsplitter | A coating designed to divide a beam into two or more beams separate beams when applied to a substrate. | ||
| Dielectric | A high-reflectance coating consisting of alternating layers of quarter-wave film of a higher refractive index and lower refractive index than the substrate. Such coatings can be made very specific to a reflected wavelength or, by varying the layers' thicknesses or film indexes, spread over a wide wavelength interval. | ||
| Filter | A coating used to block a specific range of wavelengths such as infrared or ultraviolet, etc. | ||
| High-Reflector | A coating that can be used to produce mirrors which reflect greater than 99% of the light which falls on them. | ||
| ITO | indium tin oxide coatings are alloys that are sputtered as a transparent conductive film. The result is a conductive substrate. | ||
| Metal | The coating material is metal. | ||
| Mirror | A coating used to produce a reflective surface. | ||
| Protective | A hard coating that protects the substrate from scratching or damage, without altering the optical properties. | ||
| Other | Other coating material not listed. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Wavelength Range | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| UV | The coating is designed for use in the UV. Ultraviolet is the invisible region of the spectrum from 1 to 400 nm. | ||
| Visible | The spectral region that can be perceived by the eye. The spectral range is from 400 to 750 nm. | ||
| IR | The invisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that lies between .75 and 1000 micrometers. | ||
| Other | Other wavelength range not listed. | ||
