Defense and Security

Coatings for optical components in the field of security and military technology must meet high requirements in terms of optical performance, quality, and durability, and in most cases also have to take special technical criteria into account. High optical performance at extreme temperatures, humidity, or poor visibility conditions, resistance to abrasion, scratch resistance, long-term stability, and low maintenance requirements: Our optical coatings are specially designed for defense and security applications and offer maximum performance under extreme conditions. We offer solutions for the spectrum from UV to NIR (200 nm to 3 µm) and rely on state-of-the-art processes such as magnetron sputtering, for example for particularly scratch-resistant coatings.

With our many years of experience and expertise in optical layer design, as well as the various available plant technologies, we can manufacture products such as large-area laser protection filters with high optical density. Our service portfolio also includes night vision filters, navigation light filters, floodlight filters, and coatings for EMC shielding.

• Laser protection filters: Protection against harmful laser radiation in military and industrial applications.
• Night vision systems and navigation filters: Optimization of visibility at night and in difficult lighting conditions.
• Floodlight filters: Control of light sources to prevent glare or for targeted illumination.
• EMI shielding: Coatings with conductive materials such as ITO for electromagnetic shielding and prevention of static charging.
• Head-up displays (HUDs): For safe navigation in poor visibility conditions, such as in cockpits.
• Thermal imaging and IR camera systems: For military, industrial, and environmental applications.

• Bandpass, longpass, shortpass, and notch filters
• Beam splitters and highly reflective coatings
• Anti-reflective and precision narrowband filters
• Laser safety coatings for sensors and eyes
• ITO coating for electromagnetic shielding and static charge prevention

Reliability through tested quality

All components undergo extensive environmental testing (adhesion, humidity, temperature) to guarantee their robustness and durability. This ensures that our products deliver consistently high performance even under the toughest conditions.
