Markets Optics Ophthalmic OPHTHALMIC An ophthalmic coating is typically a stack of thin layers of material deposited on an optical component such as a lens. Alternating materials with a high refractive index and those with a low refractive index alters the way in which the component reflects and transmits light. One type of ophthalmic coating is an anti-reflective coating, which reduces unwanted reflections from surfaces. This ophthalmic coating is commonly used on spectacle lenses. More complex ophthalmic coatings exhibit other properties, such as UV protection, polarization, scratch resistance, and antifog. PVD CHALLENGES Optical Thickness consistent with physical thickness Edge-to-Edge Uniformity Reproducibility INFICON SOLUTION INFICON IC6 controllers are designed with these challenges in mind to provide the best quality and accuracy for consistent process control of ophthalmic applications. IC6 maximizes reproducibility and uniformity with the highest thickness accuracy, best measurement resolution, and lowest rate noise using the ModeLock measurement system to meet the strict demands of the ophthalmic industry.
