Precision Optical Adds New Thin Film Coating Metrology and Capability

In 2019 Precision Optical made strategic investments into thin film coating capital equipment.  We acquired a new Perkin Elmer Lambda 1050 spectrophotometer equipped with the Total Absolute Measurement System (TAMS).  TAMS gives us a combination of the highest degree of flexibility and accuracy with the 1050 for UV/ViS/NIR applications.  In addition to measuring bi-directional transmittance a reflectance at variable AOI ranging from 5-80° we can also measure angular resolved scattering (BRDF/BTDF). Precision Optical also acquired a new Tecport thin film coating chamber which was installed in March 2019.  This brand new Symphony 12 is a large format (1200mm) e-beam evaporator, with ion assisted deposition, enabling the manufacture of more complex thin film custom coating designs.
