Shortwave Pass Thin Film Coatings
Thin film coatings are extremely thin layers of materials (such as TiO2, SiO2, MgF2, gold, aluminum etc…), which can be applied to the surface of a substrate like glass, metal or germanium, to effect a change in its optical properties. Effects such as reflection, refraction, anti reflection and conductivity can be produced and modified by expert calibration of the number of layers and the respective thicknesses of the thin film coatings in relation to the incidental wavelengths of light. Shortwave Pass Thin Film Coatings (SWP Thin Film Coatings) Reynard Corporation provides thin film Shortwave Pass Filter Coatings for commercial, aerospace and military applications. These Shortwave Pass (SWP) coatings can either be applied to the high quality optical components and substrates that Reynard also supplies, or to customer-provided substrates. Shortwave Pass (SWP) filter coatings are designed for wavelength selection; that is, to allow the transmission of relevant shorter wavelengths while blocking or reflecting the longer wavelengths. Examples of Reynard Filters with Shortwave Pass (SWP) Filter Coatings
Shortwave Pass (SWP) filter coatings can be engineered and supplied by Reynard Corporation for all wavelengths, from UV (Ultraviolet) through the Visible, IR (Infrared) and Far Infrared bands.
