Optical Properties Measurements
Absorptance & Emittance
Surface Optics provides precise solar absorptance (α) and thermal emittance (ε) measurements, adhering to ASTM standards for optical property testing. With decades of expertise, we deliver reliable data to support thermal control and material optimization across industries.
Vacuum Deposition Coatings
Vacuum Deposited Gold (VDG)
Our VDG coating processes have been certified by major aerospace corporations such as Northrup Grumman, Lockheed Martin, JPL, and Raytheon. Coatings can be modified to enhance reflection, durability, and wavelength range.
Anti-Reflection (AR)
Anti-reflection coatings are designed to minimize reflection and maximize light transmission across specified wavelength ranges. These coatings can be tailored to improve optical performance, durability, and environmental resistance for a variety of applications.
Vacuum Deposited Aluminum (VDA)
We offer standard, enhanced, or protected aluminum coating on your substrate. Our in-house design and measurement capabilities allow for customized VDA coatings for your substrate and application.
Roll-to-Roll
unique roll-to-roll coating process was developed in-house for Electron Beam, Jori Source and Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD) of metallic and dielectric films (all processes scalable).
Diamond-Like Carbon
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have a broad range of industrial applications due to their superior mechanical properties such as high hardness, low friction, and promising wear resistance. Our DLC coatings are low absorption protective coating with little shift. Deposited using a Filtered Cathodic Arc Instrument.
High Reflectance
Custom coatings developed per customer requirements. Multilayer design engineering and coating ability allow SOC to create custom designs for your application. Vacuum deposition Electron Beam technology is used to minimize weight addition to your substrate.
