Non-Degrading UV Mirrors
It’s easy to assume that having the highest possible LIDT guarantees the suitability of laser optics for a high-power system. However, the UV part of the spectrum poses significant threats to laser optics, causing fatigue in the coating and leading to degradation and color change. OPTOMAN has a solution – learn more in this tech note.
Low absorption AR Coated Windows
AR-coated protective windows are widely used in laser processing to ensure high transmission of laser energy, protect laser system, and minimise thermal effects. Find out how OPTOMAN handles it in this tech note.
Low Absorption Chirped Mirrors
Absorption in chirped mirrors can cause thermal lensing, which is not ideal and can lead to several problems. This will not happen with OPTOMAN new Chirped mirrors that feature 5 times lower absorption than market standard chirped mirrors. Find out more in this tech note.
High power laser mirrors for PW and TW lasers
The pinnacle of peak powers – TW and PW lasers – enable various applications, including material processing, fusion, and ultrafast processes in physics. But this sometimes comes at the cost of a headache for coating engineers, especially when designing high-power laser mirrors that can withstand extreme intensities. In this tech note, learn how OPTOMAN avoids that and deals with extreme powers.
Laser Optics for Surgical Applications
Using lasers for surgeries grants great benefits, however it also induces problems in terms of laser optics. Find out how OPTOMAN faces and solves them in this tech note.

The Optical Challenges of Laser Space Communication
Data transmission in space using lasers comes with a great deal of benefits. However, challenges for coaters become even more prominent…
Mirrors for Multipass Cells (MPC)
As the market demand for higher pulse energies at pulse durations below 50 fs increases, OPTOMAN views Multipass Cells as a prominent member of the photonics family. But why?
Mid-IR Dispersive Mirrors
As ultrafast applications in the mid-IR spectral range are getting more and more attention, OPTOMAN has developed dispersive mirrors in this region to help you compress your pulses even further! Make those pulses ULTRAfast!
Mid-IR Capabilities
Mid-IR holds quite a significance in various applications. However, it is not common to manufacture Mid-IR laser optics with Ion Beam Sputtering technology. But OPTOMAN does it!? Find out why and how in this tech note.
Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) coated laser optics
OPTOMAN aims for the highest possible accuracy, repeatability and quality by exploiting the most advanced thin film deposition technology
Repeatability capabilities
Precision, consistency, and repeatability are key factors in every industry, including photonics. At OPTOMAN, we understand that your laser system’s performance depends on the reliability of laser optics. That’s why we don’t just promise high-quality optics, we deliver consistency and peace of mind.
Why Ultrafast Lasers are so Ultrafast in Damaging Optics?
Since any laser, no matter how powerful and fast it may be, is only as strong as its weakest link, ultrafast optics and the reasons behind their damages must be addressed strategically.
