ATFilms Jumps to a New Level of Coating Process

Boulder, CO., February 16, 2012 – Advanced Thin Films, (ATFilms) now has the capability to manufacture even more sophisticated thin film coatings for their optics. With the addition of the optical monitoring system developed by Semrock, Inc., more control over the complex coating process is now possible for faster turnaround times and even more precise coatings.

“The resulting ASCII data is so beautiful. We can now bank on the repeatability from coating run to run for our customer’s most complex optical designs,” said Ramin Lalezari, ATFilms CTO. “This capability has opened the door to routinely make more economically feasible coatings for a wider range of applications.”

Known for their low loss, ultra-high reflecting laser optics, and super polished substrates, ATFilms has mastered the deposition of precise, dense, and durable films for applications in research, defense and aerospace, semiconductor, telecommunications and OEM laser manufacturing.
