Our partner, Omega Optical, Inc., was the first filter manufacturer to use dual magnetron reactive sputtering (DMRS) technology – with success. Product demand is so high that currently a further powerful DMRS unit is being installed.
The advantages of this modern technology include high evaporation rates and, subsequently, short process times as well as high stability and reproducibility – both within a wafer and from batch to batch. Almost 40 years of experience in filter coatings combined with modern, inexpensive technology give Omega a competitive edge.
All of the filters manufactured by Omega using DMRS technology are sold under the description “QuantaMAX.” Steep edges and low pass-band ripples are not just limited to the most common designs. This technology can be used wherever high demands are placed on filters, such as in Raman spectroscopy, image processing, or clinical chemistry, to name a few application fields. The new unit has proven to be particularly profitable for medium and large quantities, which is then reflected in competitive prices for our customers.
