Marking – Application critical thin-film optical components may require unambiguous marking and labeling, either on the substrate surface or on the coating. The pattern can be generated according customers' specific needs.

Laser ablation offers novel opportunities in patterning of optical filter coatings. By using adapted processes for each specific application, high precision patterns can be produced on the coated components. Laser ablation offers excellent flexibility for customized shapes and patterns together with high speed processing capabilities.
