Pioneering High-Performance Optical Coatings with Advanced Manufacturing Technology
At AGC Plasma Technology Solutions, we empower the optics industry by manufacturing the advanced equipment needed to produce the next generation of high-performance components. Our innovation is centered on integrating our proprietary plasma technologies into robust, high-throughput systems designed for mass production.
Our key innovations for optical applications include our PlasmaMAX PECVD source and our unique iOSMB technology.
Our PlasmaMAX PECVD sources are engineered for the ultra-high-rate deposition of superior optical layers, such as Silicon Oxide (SiOx). This technology allows for exceptionally fast and uniform coating, which is critical for manufacturing anti-reflective (AR) coatings and other complex optical stacks at industrial scale.
For the ultimate in coating precision, our magnetron sputtering systems are equipped with iOSMB - online shimmable magnet bars - technology. This proprietary feature allows for real-time, dynamic tuning of the magnetic field during the coating process. This provides unparalleled control over coating thickness and uniformity across the entire substrate, ensuring every component meets the most stringent optical specifications.
These cutting-edge technologies are integrated into our vertical inline vacuum coaters, the ultimate solution for the mass production of optical components. This fully automated equipment is designed to seamlessly move substrates through various deposition stages, applying complex multi-layer coatings with the highest precision, uniformity, and throughput.
By manufacturing equipment that leverages these advanced technologies, we provide our clients with a turn-key solution to produce high-quality optical components—from precision lenses to advanced sensors—with the speed and reliability required for today's most demanding markets.
