Optical coating - Import export

Metallic reflection coatings enhance reflection and are used in many optical instruments for light deflection. We coat glass, metal and plastic. The choice of coating material depends on the reflection requirements in the defined wavelength range. We use aluminium, gold, silver and chromenickel, either with or without protection coating for the VIS, UV and IR ranges.

Coating substrates is one of our core competences. We have been coating precision optic components with optically effective layers ever since 1948. Over the years, technical specifications and possibilities have radically changed. We now have several highvacuum plants, an ultrasound cleaning and drying plant at our disposal to treat the substrates. We also build our own equipment e.g. for asymmetrical prisms. Coated substrates are inspected and documented with a "Lambda 900" PE spectral photometer. Antireflection coatings

Befort develops and manufactures laser optics for a wide range of applications since more than 20 years. Befort offerings range from a simple AR coated protective glass with a high laser damage threshold to a complex focus readjustment unit for ultrashort pulse lasers (Zoombox). Our laser optics are made of high quality Schottglass or quartz glass. Befort coats the optics precisely for their wave length. The coating exhibits a particular high laser damage threshold (LDT). We develop and manufacture for you Laser mirrors (metallic or dielectric) Laser filters Laser optics Telecentric laser optics Ultrashort pulse laser optics

Befort – Achromats of our standard program are characterized by specific selection of the glass type realization integrated in the optics reflex reducing (AR) coating high UVresistance All Achromats are available with black anodized aluminum mounts. The adjustment of the AR coating to other wave length ranges is possible, optionally, air spaced achromats for extreme UV applications are available. We offer our customers a graded standard program with a diameter
