During the last decades various light sources become more and more important part in many industries and consumer products. Scientists and engineers regularly develop and integrate innovative technologies to utilize lasers or light emitting diodes as light sources in advanced applications. Optical coatings are one of the most important parts which helps implement technologies manipulating the light: reflect, split into multiple beams, reduce reflection loses, combine few light beams, split polarizations, compensate group delay dispersion, etc. Development of sophisticated optical coatings, suitable for new (innovative) light applications always include several important steps: choosing the right materials, coating design, coating technology, substrates, etc.

Optida offers various optical coatings and development services for optical components according to custom requirements of scientists and engineers. Optida researchers and engineers take a part in coating technology researches, cooperating with various research institutions and improving existing or integrating new technologies.

Special developments of coatings are necessary in different applications dealing with broadband spectrum, polarized light, ultrafast pulses, high energy pulses. Optida continuously works in development of such complex coatings, like broadband mirrors, non-polarizing or broadband beam splitters, high contrast spectral separators, polarizators for one or few wavelengths simultaneously, coatings with negative group delay dispersion or group velocity dispersion optimization for ultrafast applications, coatings for ultraviolet range or infrared range.
