Materion Precision Optics LAO (large Area optics) Lab

摘要

As larger and larger telescopes continue to come online and become operational the demand for large optical coatings such as Anti-Reflection (AR) coatings, Band Pass (BP) filters (wide & narrow), mirrors and Dichroic Beamsplitters (DBS) continues to grow. Materion's Large Area Optics (LAO) laboratory provides capabilities matched by few other facilities in the world. With a demonstrated capability up to 1.4M we provide high performance optical interference filters in sizes much larger than those previously available. All components of the Materion LAO lab were custom-designed and built to Materion performance requirements, including a large spectrophotometer, deposition system and substrate cleaning station. All in an ISO 6/7 clean room environment. Previous and current efforts include items for Large Synoptic Survey telescope (LSST), Very Large telescope (VLT), Hyper Suprime Camera (HSC), Visible Tunable Filter (VTF), SkyMapper Telescope as well as many others. This poster intends to demonstrate Materion capability and expertise.
