Why choose AlbaSense?

The Microwave Plasma Assisted Sputtering Advantage

Traditional optical coating processes require high temperatures, provide low throughput and have limited compatibility with temperature sensitive substrates.

Our Microwave Plasma Assisted Sputtering (MPAS™) solution and patented processes provide room-temperature processing, with typically 4x greater throughput.

MPAS produces durable, spectrally stable optical coatings in the ultraviolet through to infrared spectral wavebands.

We can offer bespoke solutions, cost effective prototyping and volume production.

Patent protected MPAS coating processes.

Benefits of our MPAS Coating Technology
