Lot to Lot Reproducibility<br />

With the Dual Magnetron Reactive Sputtering<br />

(DMRS) process, QuantaMAX <strong>optical</strong> coatings<br />

employ the latest methods in <strong>optical</strong> thin-film<br />

design and deposition control. Utilizing the<br />

DMRS technology we achieve very precise<br />

individual layer thickness, along with forward and<br />

backward “proof-reading” of layer execution,<br />

leading to a high degree of predictability and<br />

reproducibility lot-to-lot. As depicted in Figure 3,<br />

the edge of the 650-670 bandpass filter varies<br />

only 1 nm in either the cut-on or cut-off edges<br />

across a sampling of 5 individual deposition lots.<br />

Band Distortion<br />

The ability to precisely deposit a layer of coating<br />

material of optimized <strong>optical</strong> thicknesses in<br />

a stable and highly reproducible manner<br />

throughout the deposition cycle provides<br />

excellent transmission characteristics with<br />

minimal pass-band rippling. Figure 4 and 5<br />

show the typical performance of long-pass and<br />

short-pass <strong>interference</strong> <strong>filters</strong>.<br />
