At General Optics, we deliver thin-film coatings through one of the industry’s most diverse deposition equipment lineups. Our capabilities include E-Beam evaporation, Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD), RF Plasma, Magnetron Sputtering, DLC coatings, and Ion Plating. These systems enable us to produce everything from durable protective films for IR optics to ultra-uniform AR/HR coatings for high-power laser applications. With coating chambers up to Ø2050 mm, we ensure world-class capability for large-format optical components.
