DSI® Introduces High Laser Damage (LDT) Threshold Coatings
High damage thresholds are extremely critical for many of today's laser applications
October 15, 2013 - Santa Rosa, CA - Deposition Sciences, Inc. (DSI®), global manufacturer of highly durable thin film optical coatings, introduces a new line of high laser damage threshold (LDT) coatings. Designed for use with lasers and other high energy systems, these coatings are ideal for diode, diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS), and gas lasers. DSI's new products feature laser damage threshold levels as high as 25 MW/cm2.
High laser damage threshold performance is coupled with the company's unique, field-proven ability to uniformly coat a wide variety of component geometries, including complex shapes. For example, DSI's new low insertion loss coatings feature extremely low reflectance with an AR coating performance rating of R< 0.25 percent, according to Dr. Michael Newell, Director of Sales and Marketing.
Dr. Newell reports, "DSI has successfully deployed the new line of LDT coatings in a variety of critical applications, with components such as micro lenses, fiber lenses, collimators, beam shaping optics, ball lenses, hemispherical lenses, LED lenses, and even domes and reflectors. Our specialized IsoDyn™ low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process gives us a unique capability to provide excellent performance and high laser damage thresholds for laser systems. Our customers are excited by the high level of performance our new LDT coatings deliver."
High damage thresholds are extremely critical for many of today's laser applications, including laser cutting, laser machining, micromachining, laser drilling, and laser welding. For more information on DSI's new high LDT coatings, please visit www.depsci.com or call 866-433-7724.

Deposition Sciences, Inc. (DSI) - Santa Rosa, CA - www.depsci.com - For over 25 years, Deposition Sciences has produced the most durable optical thin film filter coatings in the industry. DSI's coating capability ranges from the ultraviolet (UV), through the visible and includes near-infrared (NIR), midwave-infrared (MWIR) and out to the longwave-infrared (LWIR). At the heart of these coating capabilities for optics and other thin film technologies are DSI's patented MicroDyn® reactive sputtering technology enabling superior multilayer thin film coatings, and the company's IsoDyn™ LPCVD method that permits exceptionally conformal optical coatings on complex shapes and sizes.
Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
