Coating Capability

Melles Griot continues to enhance its worldwide optical coating capability. Three new coating chambers, including the ion-assisted deposition chamber will enable us to continue providing high-quality optical coatings, at very competitive prices, in both small and large quantities.

  • Our coating capabilities include high-reflecting, partially reflecting, and antireflec-tion coatings, as well as narrow and broadband filter coatings and polarization coatings

  • We specialize in high-damage-threshold laser coatings for high-power laser applications

  • We produce single-layer and multilayer dielectric coatings on BK7, fused silica CaF2, and many other glass types

  • Our coatings have been tested, and withstand high laser powers and meet military environmental requirements for salt-fog and humidity

If you have a custom coating requirement, contact your nearest Melles Griot sales office. We will work with your engineers to develop a unique coating to meet your specific requirements.

Clean Room Capabilities

In our ongoing effort to provide the highest-quality components for your research and OEM applications, we have upgraded several of our manufacturing areas to a Class-10,000 clean-room environment. This added capability allows us to keep pace with your ever-increasing expectations for product performance.

  • Class-10,000 Coating Area: The cleaner the part, the higher the quality of the optical coating. After parts are cleaned in our five-stage semi-aqueous clean-line, they go directly to the coaters. Removing additional contamination from our coating areas reduces factors that can degrade coating performance at high laser power.

  • Class-10,000 Assembly Room: In this room, we assemble parts under class-100 laminar flow benches, inspect the parts in clean-room conditions, and package components in special packaging that can be transferred directly into your clean-room production areas.

OEM Production Quantities

At Melles Griot, we understand your needs for rapid prototyping and a seamless transition into full production. Using capacity management tools we work closely with our OEM customers to ensure a continuous supply of components that are competitively priced and value engineered for your application.

OEM volume discounts, JIT arrangements and blanket ordering with scheduled releases are some of the techniques we apply to our standard and custom designs to assure you of the most reliable and competitive OEM supply of components.
