Optical Quality Films/Membranes

Nexolve forms materials into thin films with homogenous mechanical and optical properties with an extremely smooth surface.

Such films are termed “Optical Quality” and were developed primarily to minimize wavefront distortion through the material for imaging applications. This process can be adapted to numerous types of materials currently offered by Nexolve and commercially available from other vendors.

Performance

Typical characteristics of “Optical Quality” films are minimized thickness variation (lamda/20 has been demonstrated at 632nm) and surface roughness of 1.5nm RMS. Such characteristics make Nexolve Optical Quality films ideal for optical filtering, lightweight mirrors and pellicles, protective coverings, and other similar applications.

Availability

Optical Film:

  • 3 to 24 microns
  • Coating onto various substrates
  • Up to 1.5m diameter
