Key highlights

Extreme operating conditions in space demand that laser systems—and particularly their optical components—deliver exceptional spectral performance and environmental stability. OPTOMAN addresses this need with application-optimized laser optics that offer extended lifetime, high LIDT, and minimal degradation over time.

The 1550 nm wavelength is widely used in laser communication due to its low attenuation, compatibility with Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), low chromatic dispersion, and favorable atmospheric transmission for free-space links.

OPTOMAN’s IBS-coated laser mirrors optimized for 1550 nm provide outstanding spectral precision, ultra-low absorption, and long-term performance for mission-critical applications.

Applications

Laser communication
Remote sensing and Lidar
Defense

Customization

OPTOMAN offers tailored IBS coating solutions to meet specific application needs, including custom spectral ranges (193-5000 nm), angles of incidence, substrate materials, and their dimensions. Coating designs can be optimized for particular environmental conditions and performance criteria.

Manufacturing

Manufactured in-house using Ion-Beam Sputtering (IBS) technology for dense, low-defect, and environmentally stable coatings.

Testing & qualification

OPTOMAN is ISO 9001:2015 certified and JOSCAR Registered & Compliant, meeting stringent quality and traceability standards required in the aerospace and defense sectors. Each coating undergoes comprehensive in-house testing, including wavefront error analysis, surface quality inspection, reflectance/transmittance measurements, and laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) testing.
