# OPTOMAN

> OPTOMAN designs, develops, and manufactures application-optimized dielectric thin-film coatings and high-power, high-damage-threshold laser optics. Based in Vilnius, Lithuania, with a U.S. office in Folsom, California, OPTOMAN serves laser manufacturers and research institutions worldwide.

OPTOMAN's optics are produced with innovative ion-beam sputtering (IBS) technology, enabling deposition of complex structures of several hundred thin-film layers with high accuracy, repeatability, and quality. The company is known for non-degrading laser optics that show no coating degradation even after billions of laser shots, and emphasizes high LIDT (Laser-Induced Damage Threshold) performance, low absorption, and highly customized, application-optimized solutions.

Key facts:
- Core technology: Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) for durable, low-loss dielectric coatings
- Specialty: High-power and ultrafast (Low GDD / dispersive) laser optics
- Custom optics: Coatings and substrates optimized to a customer's specific laser parameters (wavelength, AOI, pulse energy, beam size, pulse width, repetition rate)
- Online store: Optoshop (https://optoshop.optoman.com) for stock and standard optics
