Coatings on Optical Fibers
OptoSigma supplies a wide
selection of optical thin film
coatings. These coatings are often
provided as part of the ­optical
component but they may also be
ordered separately to be applied to
an uncoated element. For ­example,
it is possible to apply an AntiReflection coating to any uncoated
lenses, windows or optical fibers.
Also reflecting coatings may be
applied to uncoated substrates to
form mirrors or partial reflectors. To
make this process simple we have
­listed some of our most common
­standard coatings. To order you
simply append the coating suffix to
the base part number and ­specify the
surfaces to be coated. If you don’t find
the exact coating you need please ask
us to provide you with a custom solution. Our coating engineers will use the latest design
software and production ­techniques to provide you with the coating you require.
Optical thin film coatings are
used to control the intensity,
wavelength selection and
polarization characteristics
of incident electro-magnetic
radiation. For laser and
precision optical applications
the quality of the coating is
critical. Coatings must be
precise as well as durable
and damage resistant.

Custom Coatings
We offer a wide range
of Anti-Reflection
coatings which may be
applied to any of our
glass or fused silica
lenses or windows to
reduce reflection losses.
Through use of our Ion
Assisted Deposition (IAD)
process we also specialize in AR coatings
on optical fiber endfaces. Low temperature
IAD coatings may be applied to most fiber
endface terminations. Pre and post
coating inspection is performed in our
dedicated facility to ensure high quality.
Our “Super-V” Coatings represent the
ultimate in low reflection coatings
(R<0.1%) for narrowband applications.
We also offer laser line V Coatings,
Broadband Multilayer AR Coatings,
Multiband AR Coatings,
Telecom AR Coatings and
Single Layer AR MgF2 Coatings.
Standard coatings may be
ordered by simply appending a
coating suffix to the product
number and specifying the number
of sides to be coated. For more complex
requirements we suggest that you call - our applications
engineers will be pleased to advise you on the best coating for your needs.
Standard Anti-Reflection coatings are listed in the following table.

We offer narrowband and broadband dielectric high reflecting coatings as well as a range
of metal coatings. Laser Line HR Coatings are offered for all major laser wavelengths
in the range of 193 to 2100nm. Broadband HR Coatings are offered for a selection of
bandwidths. They provide a very high degree of spectrally neutral reflection and
represent the ultimate in optical mirror coatings. Most of the coatings listed are for use at 45
degrees angle of incidence, but we do offer a selection of Broadband, Normal Incidence
HR Coatings. Other normal incidence coatings can be provided on special request.
Metal coatings, such as Protected Aluminum, Protected Silver or Protected Gold
provide reflectance over an extremely broad spectral range. These coatings are
protected by a thin layer of dielectric material in order to make them durable. It is also
possible to enhance the performance of metal coatings by adding several dielectric layers
over the metal coating.

Here at OptoSigma we specialize in custom optical coatings from the ultra-violet to the

modifications of the catalog specifications to entirely specialized designs.
If the custom coating design is straightforward, we will perform a single test run
immediately before the production run. For more complicated designs, a development
process will be needed to establish the specifications which can be met in a production
environment. This could potentially include multiple test runs, design modifications, and
data analysis. We work closely with our customers through every step in the process to
determine which specifications are suitable for both their applications and a manufacturing
environment. It is in the best interest of OptoSigma and our customers to get through
the development stage and on to production as quickly as possible. Once production is
reached, the specialized processes and inspection are documented and established to
ensure ongoing success.

THIN FILM COATINGS

Coatings
Anti-Reflection Coatings
High Reflection Coatings
Custom Coatings
Most of our coatings are deposited using a computer controlled electron beam ion
assisted deposition process allowing us to provide durable precision all dielectric coatings.
Before coating, the substrates are ion cleaned to decrease surface contamination,
which helps the coating bind to the substrate. During coating, these energetic ions
help densify the coating which both increases the coatings optical performance and
reduces the internal stress thus increasing the durability. Because of this process, we
are able to maintain a temperature of less than 100°C to accommodate temperature
sensitive substrates, such as optical fibers, fiber assemblies, crystals, select polymers,
and cemented optics. Additionally, each chamber is equipped with a Polycold system to
aid in the pumping of water vapor, which decreases the time required to coat and helps
eliminate the moisture within the coating. The coating process is completely computer
controlled and monitored by a technician. The final product is an extremely dense durable
precision coating.
The substrates are mounted on a planetary system, where each planet measures
15 inches in diameter. In addition to the availability of a wide range of tooling, we have
the ability to both aid the customer in the designing process, or to provide complete
custom tooling to accommodate their parts.
Durability/Low Stress
Coatings with a high internal stress have a tendency to craze and delaminate or deform
the substrate increasing the wavefront error. Our ion assisted process minimizes this
stress within each coating layer, and our designs are created to balance the stress over
the entire coating. The ion cleaning process prior to coating enhances the adhesion of
the coating to the substrate, increasing the durability and longevity of the coating. During
coating, the ion bombardment minimizes internal stress build up by increasing the
homogeneity within the layers. The final product is an extremely durable coating which
maintains the original substrate wavefront error.
High Damage
To produce a coating, which can withstand high levels of incident laser energy, the
appropriate design and process must be used. Our ion assisted deposition process
produces coatings which are highly homogeneous, dense and completely oxidized.
Reducing the inhomogenaities minimizes the internal scattering and increases the thermal
conductivity of the coating. Our designs for high damage use all oxides rather than
fluorides and metals which reduce the amount of absorption within the coating.

Temperature Sensitive Substrates
The energy required to produce highly homogeneous and dense coatings comes from our
ion assisted process rather than temperature. During our coating runs we can maintain
a temperature below 100°C. This allows us to produce precision coatings on a variety
of temperature sensitive substrates, such as polymers, optical fibers, fiber assemblies,
cemented substrates, and a variety of specialized crystals.

All dielectric multi-layer coatings are much more durable and of higher optical
performance that those which involve metals. These can be offered with almost zero
absorption and reflectivities greater than 99%. The all dielectric design is limited to a
specific spectral bandwidth around the center design wavelength. Large bandwidth
requirements demand the use of high precision coatings. These types of coatings are
performed regularly at OptoSigma. Two actual spectral curves demonstrating this type of
coating can be seen in the following plots.

Particular applications demand the use of all dielectric coatings due to their durability and
superb optical performance. The all dielectric design is however highly sensitive to
angular variation, which can create problems for broadband applications involving large
angular variations, such as those with non-collimated beams or rotating substrates. To
accommodate the need for angular variation, a coating bandwidth substantially greater
than the source bandwidth is required. This requires a highly precise all dielectric coating.
