Optical coatings are used to enhance the reflectance and transmittance properties of a substrate material. Common applications are anti-reflection and increased-reflection coatings, and high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filters. Filmetrics instruments are used to characterize the reflectance, transmittance, and color of optical coatings, and for coating thickness measurement. The table below summarizes the features of our most popular models for measuring optical coatings. Application Notes Contact our thin-film experts to discuss your optics application. Filmetrics offers free trial measurements - results are typically available in 1-2 days. |
