Coated Optics

Optical elements having refracting or reflecting surfaces that have been coated with one or more layers of Dielectric or metallic material. These layers serve to reduce or increase Reflection and to protect the surfaces from fumes or abrasion. Magnesium fluoride, silicon oxide, and zinc sulphide are a few of the most commonly used coatings.
