December 10, 2014, Barrington, N.J. - Edmund Optics (EO), the premier provider of optical components, introduces an expanded line of Standard Anti-Reflection (AR) Coatings. The custom AR coatings are now available standard, for fast turnaround and excellent value. These new broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coatings are currently offered off-the-shelf on PCX lenses. Standard BBAR coatings can be applied to any uncoated optics.  

YAG-BBAR Optimized for Nd:YAG Wavelengths

Edmund Optics' expanded line of standard AR coatings includes a YAG-BBAR coating, which is a broadband coating from 500-1100 nm that is optimized for low reflection at both 532 nm and 1064 nm. The YAG-BBAR coating provides less than 1.0% reflectance per surface over its wavelength range and absolute reflectance of less than 0.25% where it is optimized at 532nm and 1064 nm.  

VIS-EXT BBAR is a broadband AR coating features extended UV performance

The VIS-EXT BBAR Coating reduces reflection from 350-700 nm. The VIS-EXT provides less than 0.5% average reflectance per surface over its wavelength range of 350-700 nm. These standard AR coatings are available immediately for innovative optical solutions and outstanding value.
