Materials get their optical properties based on how much they reflect, absorb or transmit different wavelengths (colors) of light. Usually optical coatings either reflect or transmit a given color of ...

For more than a century, optical coatings have been used to better reflect certain wavelengths of light from lenses and other devices or, conversely, to better transmit certain wavelengths through ...

For optical distributors, prescription laboratories, and private-label brands, the visual appearance of a blue-block lens matters almost as much as its filtering specification. A lens that looks ...

Researchers have developed an optical coating system that combines antifogging and antireflective properties. The new technology could help boost the performance of lidar systems and cameras. "Walking ...

This Collection invites original research articles on optical coatings, focusing on advanced materials, fabrication techniques, and applications. We welcome contributions that explore the latest ...

Researchers have developed a coating for optical systems that is both antifogging and anti-reflective, two properties for these systems that so far haven't been possible for one material to provide ...

For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...
