We will produce optical thin films for a variety of needs. Military, Commercial, and Medical are the primary growth sectors but the Telecom and Laser markets are still holding strong. The products themselves will be primarily customer supplied optics that requires a thin film coating to enhance spectral requirements along with meeting harsh environmental conditions. These coatings could be simple metal films deposited in exact thicknesses for solderable conductors, multi-layer stacks of dielectric films for high transmission or reflection at single or multiple angles of incidence.
