Ion Beam Sputtering (the IBS process) is known as the preferred technology for the production of high-quality optical coatings. The particles that collide with the substrate have a higher kinetic energy than other PVD coating technologies. This enables the deposition of particularly dense, stable and low-loss coatings on different substrates.

The properties of the coatings can be improved even further through the use of dual ion beam technology (DIBS). This technique can, for example, generate coatings with higher laser induced damage thresholds (LIDT).

 

The IBS system, a SPECTOR system from Veeco Instruments, is equipped with two ion beams (Dual Ion Beam Sputtering DIBS) for the most demanding optical coatings. For high-precision deposition of coatings and control of the coating thickness, the system is equipped with the latest optical monitoring system, which characterises and controls the layer growth on the substrate during the entire coating process. This facilitates the deposition of most complicated coating designs.
