Laser Mirrors

IBS-coated laser mirrors from OPTOMAN deliver high reflectivity and reliable, consistent performance across the spectral range from Deep UV to Mid-IR. They cover Deep UV systems (ArF at 193 nm, 206 nm and 213 nm, Nd:YAG IV harmonic, excimer lasers), UV systems such as the Nd:YAG III harmonic, and visible, Near-IR and Mid-IR (2–5 µm) lasers. Broadband mirrors keep reflectivity high over a wide bandwidth. Multiwavelength mirrors give precise reflection at both fundamental and harmonic wavelengths within a single optical system. For resonator cavities with extremely high quality factors, extreme low-loss supermirrors are available, with R > 99.995% and total losses below 1 ppm. Ion-Beam Sputtering (IBS) produces coatings with bulk-like density, low absorption and low loss, high Laser-Induced Damage Thresholds (LIDT) and no aging, so reflectance stays stable over time. Longer operational lifetimes mean fewer replacements, less downtime and lower maintenance costs, which lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). For Mid-IR, OPTOMAN has developed relatively thin coatings through advanced material research. These cut production time, the main cost driver, while keeping the core advantages of IBS, even at power densities up to 100 GW/cm².

At OPTOMAN, our expert coating engineers fine-tune each laser mirror for your specific needs, giving you excellent spectral performance and long-lasting, cost-effective solutions for demanding industrial, medical, scientific and defence laser systems.

OPTOMAN digs deep into each application, providing highly customized and application-optimized solutions that will fit your business needs.

Together, we will be able to set the priorities that are most important for your application and needs, whether it is reaching fundamental limitations, proving the concept, or making a well-balanced industrial high runner. We keep an open discussion about the main price drivers and help customers optimize BOM costs while maintaining the highest quality level.

Yes. Based on the customer’s presented business case, OPTOMAN, with its R&D-driven attitude and collaborative approach, can design, develop, and manufacture products for testing purposes and present a plan for serial production. Different-size IBS coating chambers are very handy in this case because small-scale production can be easily transferred to our giant IBS machine – Albert (the atom smasher), where we can coat large optics or 400-500 units of 1“ laser optics in a single coating run, ensuring high uniformity, meaning that all mirrors will work the same making your laser systems highly repeatable and reliable too.

Moreover, our in-stock optics marketplace, OPTOSHOP, features over 400 different laser optics made with love by OPTOMAN. These optics can be provided for testing directly from stock and delivered in 1-3 business days. After successful tests, OPTOMAN can present the most optimal production plan matching your business needs.

Both. 80% of total OPTOMAN revenue comes from complete products, while 20% is generated by providing coating services on customer-supplied substrates. OPTOMAN responsibly oversees the supplier network for reliable substrates and, if needed, can offer a completely European supply chain.

Yes. OPTOMAN has a number of flat substrates, plano-concave and plano-convex lenses, and spherical mirror substrates in stock, ready to be coated. Choosing the in-stock substrate option allows, on average, saving 6 weeks of lead time and reducing end-product cost 3 times.
