For the production of precision optics, the requirements for exact layer thickness, homogeneity, refractive index and the resulting laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the coatings are often so high, that they can only be achieved by ion beam sputtering.

Our latest system, the scia Opto 300, was developed to provide high-quality coatings with superior layer properties on 300 mm substrates, thus taking optics manufacturing to a new level...

To ensure that our customers receive their ordered systems on time and in the usual good quality, we are realizing our move while production is running. Therefore, it will take until the end of this year for all colleagues and work equipment to finally arrive at the new location.
