LASEROPTIK has longtime experience with coatings in the Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) range (120-179 nm), especially for 157 nm including dedicated metrology.

The main reason for losses in this spectrum is absorption of water and hydrocarbons. VUV-CaF2 substrates are used to counter these losses. A surface roughness of σRMS < 0.3 nm helps to decrease the losses for all coatings.

We guarantee LIDT > 400 mJ/cm2 with 15 ns pul­ses for HR 157 nm / 0°.

Our mirrors withstand 2.5 billion pulses at 10 mJ/cm2 without any detectable degradation as reported from a longterm test. The values for PR and AR coatings will be in the same range.

All values are given for standard coatings. Customized coatings available for all types.
