Where precision meets scale
With 66 precision optical coating chambers, Omega Optical is capable to coat the equivalent area of eight regulation soccer fields (yes, 120 by 80 yards)!
We strive to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world and are constantly in search of new and innovative solutions in photonics. Our highly experienced and skilled engineering and manufacturing teams closely collaborate with customers to ensure their specific requirements are achieved, if not exceeded. We provide collaborative design and development services ranging from concept design to high-volume manufacturing.
Our ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities ensure the highest quality control standards through process discipline. USA-based manufacturing locations in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont enable us to serve our customers nimbly, shortening lead times and often allowing our customers to accelerate their time to market.
Types of Standard and Customizable Coatings
Custom & OEM Coating Services
From early-stage partnerships that meet challenging design specifications to large-scale commercial production, we offer state-of-the-art OEM services and solutions. Our workforce of dedicated design and manufacturing engineers are committed to helping our customers bring their innovative ideas to market.
Anti-Reflective (AR)
An anti-reflective coating (AR coating) enhances transmittance. AR coatings improve the efficiency of optical instruments, enhance contrast in imaging devices, and reduces scattered light that can interfere with the optical performance of telescopes, cameras, and binoculars, and decreases glare on eyeglasses.
Highly-Reflective (HR)
Highly reflective coatings, sometimes referred to as HR or mirror coatings, can be designed to reflect a broad range of wavelengths or selected wavelengths.
Diamond-like-carbon (DLC)
Diamond-like-carbon coatings are used across many industries in magnetic storage disks, car and engine parts, biomedical implants, and cutting and forming tools. They are a preferred choice in defense and security applications where environmental factors necessitate an anti-reflective coating with high durability and ability to withstand harsh conditions.
Dielectric
Coatings designed and manufactured using dielectric materials can be tailored to balance specific transmission, reflection, and beam splitting requirements in addition to durability requirements.
Large Area
We can coat single optics up to 3 meters in diameter with high uniformity, OR gigantic batches of components. DUV to FarIR, millimeter to meter-class optics, NO ONE else provides such a broad capability and capacity.
Metallic
Metallic mirror coating allows you to choose the optimum spectral range of reflectivity and durability for both large and small components. Metallic mirror coating materials include aluminum, silver, rhodium, and gold. Protected and enhanced mirror coatings are available as well.
Oleophobic & Hydrophobic
Oleophobic & hydrophobic coating is a type of Broadband Anti Reflective (BBAR) coating that resists water, oil, smudges and fingerprints. It is ideal for windows and lenses which are exposed to high-touch or harsh environments. We can coat glass or plastic substrates up to 36″ diameter or 12″ x 30″ rectangular plates.
Optical Coatings on Plastic & Acrylic
Omega Optical has coated over 1.7 million plastic optics over the past 8 years without a single field failure. We specialize in coating plastic & acrylic substrates for optical and decorative applications.
Solderable Coatings
Omega Optical is capable to provide patterned metallic coatings for vacuum applications where a window or filter needs to be soldered in place.
