Optical Monitoring

Optical monitoring has become a critical technology for creating high-quality interference optical coatings.

Our modern approach combines established technical solutions with an advanced software platform, providing unparalleled flexibility for any optical application and coater type - from batch to in-line.

Optical Monitoring Components

All our componenst provide accurate and reliable measurements of thin-film thickness and optical properties during deposition

Coating Math

Multiple choice of monitoring strategies provides a way to enhance production yield and process tolerance. The advanced calculation algorithm automatically defines the endpoint using the intensity data of an optical signal. Our innovative process control routine for interference coatings makes it easier than ever before to achieve high-quality results.

Hardware Platform

Such an approach can implement any monitoring strategy according to any required coating.

Optical Devices

Insoptics software supports monochromators, spectrometers, and spectrographs. With a focus on addressing the daily challenges faced by our customers, we have developed a more natural approach to creating optical coatings.
