It has been recognized for some time that magnetron sputtering produces superior optical coatings that are dense and spectrally stable. Applied Multilayers now offers the ultimate sputtering process for optical applications. The Closed Field Magnetron (CFM) reactive sputtering process provides optimum deposition conditions for super-smooth, non-absorbing and low stress thin film growth. The process is low temperature and can even be used with temperature sensitive polymer substrates. This patented technology combines exceptional optical quality with high deposition rates.

CFM reactive sputtering has many applications including thin film photovoltaics, displays, electrochromics, multilayer precision optics, AR coatings and mirrors for spectacle lenses, lighting filters and durable AR for infra-red optics.

Applied Multilayers offers a range of coating platforms from the small-but-fast load-locked CFM Express through to the CFM1050 with a 0.75m diameter drum for substrates. Browse through our Product portfolio and assess which system is best for your application and budget. For bespoke applications we will even negotiate to license our CFM technology for different in-line or roll to roll formats.

As a company we recognise the importance of superior after sales service and we provide this on a worldwide basis through a network of carefully chosen partners and distributors. We offer comprehensive product support and preventative maintenance.

Applied Multilayers doesn't just provide equipment, we also provide turn-key processes. We have a unique capability in optical coating design and process development. We are also equipped to provide pre-production coating services. Call us if you would like to assess our CFM coating quality in your application.
