Optical Coating

Optical coating is a thin layer of material applied to the surface of lenses, glasses, or mirrors to control how light interacts with them. These coatings can reduce reflections, increase light transmission, or block certain wavelengths. Common types include anti-reflective coatings, which minimize glare, and mirror coatings, which reflect light effectively. Designed at a microscopic level, these layers enhance the performance and durability of optical devices, making images clearer, reducing glare, and protecting surfaces from damage. Overall, optical coatings improve visual clarity and device longevity through precise manipulation of light behavior at the surface.
