We work competently with partners in development and research right from the start of the project.
Consulting and Layer Design
Our optical coating solutions for technical components are rarely "off the shelf", but as individual as our customers' products. We design and manufacture custom optical filters as well as custom optical mirrors, tailored to the requirements of your component and its application.
INDIVIDUAL ADVICE, SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN ALL PHASES ON THE WAY TO THE HIGH-QUALITY END PRODUCT CHARACTERISE US.
To find the best solution for your application, we involve our specialists in coating design, process development, and production early in the customer discussions. By analysing and understanding your products and markets holistically, we work together with you to define specific requirements for your component and the appropriate coating, even beyond the defined specifications. This approach enables us not only to start developing processes and samples very quickly, but also to identify the best possible solution for your product. In addition to documenting measurements, environmental and application tests, we provide support to our customers with packaging and logistics solutions.
With us, you benefit from personalised advice and support, as well as professional project management at all stages on the journey to a high-quality product.
Depending on the individual properties of the material and the requirements of your optical component, we select both a suitable coating design and the appropriate coating technology for your project, we may also create your own individual sample coating. We would be delighted to discuss the details with you in a personal meeting. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
Customised layer design for optical coatings
The requirements for functional coatings are often very complex. Our interdisciplinary team conducts elaborate analyses, development, and testing procedures to meet the individual requirements of functional coatings for your specific products. Thanks to modern simulation software, we can demonstrate the properties of our coating design even before the actual coating is applied.
With our technical know-how and extensive experience, we have already developed innovative coating solutions for numerous applications across a wide range of industries.
We provide you with:
- Thin-film layer design, coating solutions and application technology
- Fast, uncomplicated implementation of samples and prototypes
- Layer design for the spectral range from UV to NIR
- Designs for high-volume production with high repeatability and reliably consistent results
- Professional project management from the first sample to serial production
- State-of-the-art coating design software
- High level of production expertise for thin-film processes with different technologies
- Automated process control and monitoring
- Layer designs tailored precisely to the requirements of your product or component, for customized optical filters and mirrors
- Adaptation of the layer characteristics to the demands of your product

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about consulting and layer design for optical coatings
Our solutions are individually tailored to our customers' technical components and requirements. We do not offer standard products or catalog items, but rather coatings with customized layer designs, precisely tailored to the respective product and its application.
We can also produce sample coatings and create prototypes at short notice.
We offer comprehensive consulting services that involve specialists in layer design, process development, and production right from the initial discussions. Our consulting services also include sample coating and prototyping and, if necessary, joint adaptation.
We develop coating solutions for a wide range of applications in many industries, from industrial automation, recycling, and sorting to security applications and the military. For more information about possible areas of application, see Industries.
This means that we tailor the coating properties precisely to the requirements of your product and its area of application, from the selection of the coating material to the adjustment of the wavelengths, from the UV to the NIR spectral range.
We work with various thin-film processes and state-of-the-art software for layer design and automated process control. Specific information about our coating technologies and systems can be found under Technology.
Yes, we also manufacture prototypes and samples. We can produce sample coatings for you quickly and easily. After sampling, our high capacities and modern facilities enable us to produce both small and large series with a high degree of repeat accuracy. More about this you will find on the page sample coating.
Our coating chambers allow diameters of up to approximately 1700 mm, ideal for large components.
In addition to coatings, we offer documentation of measurements, environmental tests, application tests, and packaging and logistics solutions.
The best thing to do is to arrange a personal consultation, during which we will present the most suitable coating and technology for your needs. Feel free to contact us by phone (+49 2664/9960-0), send us an email, or use our contact form.
