#6468EP, #149EP & #179EP

Low Temperature Anti-Reflection for Fiberoptic Components

General Description

ECI offers optical coatings specifically designed for application to fiber ends, ferrule assemblies, and other temperature sensitive substrates. Our low temperature process minimizes previous outgassing concerns from cladding or epoxies. The coating materials are deposited with very high energy resulting in films that have an extremely dense and compact film structure. These films exhibit superior resistance to moisture penetration and abrasion.

ECI #6468EP is a narrow-band design that offers exceptionally low first-surface reflection losses. Our standard design has reflectivity values less than 0.15% at the peaking wavelength. Special designs with lower reflection values are available. This coating is optimized for your specific angle of incidence and index of refraction.

ECI #149EP is a broad-band design with first-surface reflection of less than 0.25% across a wide spectral region. This design is typically used to reduce reflection losses at the 1.3 and 1.55 micron wavelengths. Custom variations of this design are available for specific wavelength regions and lower reflectivity values.

ECI #179EP is a dual-band design that reduces first-surface reflection to less than 0.25% at two peaking wavelengths. This design is typically used for the 980nm & 1550nm wavelength regions. Custom designs are available.

ECI has the knowledge, experience and equipment to inspect and prepare your parts for the coating process. In-house fixturing is available for various components, bare fibers and many common fiber assemblies. We also work with our customers to develop custom shipping/coating fixtures for your specific part in an effort to reduce costs and improve handling. Fibers coated with our EP process have passed typical industry environmental requirements.
