Optics for Laser Processing

OPTOMAN’s mission is to be Your Sidekick for Laser Optics Development. Our core value is the desire to make application-optimized and highly customized solutions for you collaboratively and do that with ultrafast turnaround, being quick to react, consult, and serve your optics needs.

OPTOMAN is completely concentrated on Ion-Beam Sputtering Technology (IBS), using solely in-house manufacturing capabilities run by highly skilled professionals, enabling OPTOMAN to increase the longevity and reliability of our partners’ laser systems, eventually resulting in a lower total cost of ownership. 

OPTOMAN digs deep into each application, providing highly customized and application-optimized solutions that will fit your business needs. Laser optics suitable for nanosecond, ultrafast, and CW lasers are completely different, as there is no one fits all solution when it comes to different laser parameters.  

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. 

IBS is an inherently stable sputtering process that enables OPTOMAN to make highly repeatable laser optics that feature bulk-like coating density, negligible scattering, high resistance to laser irradiation and advanced spectral performance.

OPTOMAN chose to focus on this technology, seeing it as the most suitable tool to enable higher laser energy levels and further advancements in laser technology. Moreover, IBS-coated optics help improve the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and reduce production and servicing costs in the long run. Operating one single coating technology reduces operational costs, which helps OPTOMAN destroy the myth that IBS coatings must be very expensive.  

Laser optics manufacturing is a more complicated process than choosing the right substrates and coating materials, and uploading the coating design to the IBS machine.

The right intermediary between the coating design and coating chamber is essential, and that intermediary is a human with the know-how. OPTOMAN is driven by highly skilled professionals who aim to maximize the value of IBS-coated optics for you with an ultrafast turnaround.  

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. 

We consider ourselves trailblazers of IBS-based optics manufacturing. We are eager to innovate in the field, so your RnD challenges are our best tasks. The passion for creating something new and our team’s satisfaction from seeing the solutions implemented are huge rewards. We have versatile manufacturing equipment suitable for prototyping and, later on, scalable mass production of thousands of units per day. 

One of the great added values we provide to our mass production-oriented customers is BOM optimization. Our competencies and equipment are applicable to almost all the parts in the laser system BOM—it helps us offer an optimal BOM set price compared to buying it from multiple sources. Moreover, the market always competes in terms of power levels, the efficiency of the process, the reduction of downtime, and the accuracy of the process. Collaboration with our team will ensure you are getting the most advanced solutions in the market.
