Key Applications for Ion Beam Deposition

  • Ring laser gyroscope mirrors
  • High power laser optics
  • Gravity wave detector mirrors
  • Astronomical instrumentation
  • Anti reflecting and high reflecting coating (e.g. laser bars)

Benefits of IBD

  • High surface quality
  • Dense smooth films
  • Very low scattering
  • Very low optical losses
  • Very good run to run repeatability
  

 

  • Excellent uniformity
  • Maximum flexibility
  • Range of applications
  • Process repeatability
  • Low cost of ownership
