BLACK COATINGS
CILAS offers black coatings to mitigate straylight issues in optical systems for any spectral range between 380nm to 2.5µm, such as camera objectives, but also mechanical slits for optical diffraction purpose.
Thanks to the dense manufacturing technology, CILAS black coatings withstand severe environment conditions, for industry, scientific and space programs.
All these coatings are suitable for glasses, Zerodur®, SiC, titanium, stainless steel and various aluminum types on components up to 2 meters by 2 meters.
All these coatings can be applied on high quantities and large size components with typical dimensions up to 2 meters for anti-reflection coating, up to 400mm for dielectric mirror or dichroic, up to 200mm for polarizer or band pass filter.
Catalog coatings and specific designs available upon request.
