Mid-IR laser mirrors

IBS-coated Mid-IR laser mirrors are designed for applications across the 2μm to 5μm spectral range, with prominent uses in laser processing, defence, medical applications, and environmental monitoring. The success of these laser systems heavily depends on the performance of optical components. That’s why at OPTOMAN, we focus on delivering high-quality IBS-coated mirrors with high spectral performance and low absorption, crucial for ensuring efficient, reliable operation, and high Laser-Induced Damage Thresholds (LIDT).  Moreover, Mid-IR laser mirrors feature enhanced operational lifetimes, lowerint the total cost of ownership. 

In addition to high performance, we’ve also made significant accomplishments in producing cost-effective solutions for Mid-IR optics. By developing relatively thin coatings through advanced material research, we’ve reduced the primary cost driver—production time—while maintaining the core advantages of IBS coatings. This allows us to deliver high-quality, durable mirrors without sacrificing spectral performance or efficiency, making them an affordable choice for your Mid-IR laser systems, even at power densities up to 100 GW/cm². 

At OPTOMAN, our expert coating engineers ensure that each laser mirror is finely tuned for your specific needs, providing excellent spectral performance values, long-lasting and cost-effective solutions for the most demanding laser systems. 

OPTOMAN digs deep into each application, providing highly customised and application-optimised 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 main price drivers and help customers optimise 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.
