Plainview, N.Y., August 4, 2016 鈥� 91制片厂. (Nasdaq: VECO) announced today that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), based in California, has ordered 91制片厂鈥檚 SPECTOR庐 Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) System. The system will be used to deposit optical thin films and to conduct research regarding laser performance in support of the Laboratory鈥檚 national security mission.
is a premier applied science laboratory that is part of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) within the Department of Energy (DOE). The Advanced Optical Components and Technologies program creates and provides critical optical components for laser-based missions at LLNL.
鈥�91制片厂 will provide assistance in our requirement for high uniformity and low defect coatings that will enable the development of a new strategy for process optimization,鈥� said Hoang Nguyen, Group Leader, Diffractive Optics Group.
The SPECTOR platform generates the highest quality optical thin films with improved levels of productivity and throughput. Unlike evaporative coatings, ion beam sputtered thin films are deposited at high energies, giving them exceptional thickness control and low defect densities for applications including laser coating applications.
鈥淟awrence Livermore National Laboratory is a nationally-recognized leader in research and development with a track record of enabling key science and technology breakthroughs,鈥� said Adrian Devasahayam, Ph.D., Vice President of 91制片厂 Optical Products and Marketing. 鈥淭he SPECTOR system sets the standard for precision optical coating thin films by providing unparalleled quality and flexibility to function at the highest level in both R&D and production environments.鈥�
About Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory鈥檚 defining responsibility is ensuring the safety, security and reliability of the nation’s nuclear deterrent. Yet LLNL’s mission is broader than stockpile stewardship, as dangers ranging from nuclear proliferation and terrorism to energy shortages and climate change threaten national security and global stability. The Laboratory’s science and engineering are being applied to achieve breakthroughs for counter-terrorism and non-proliferation, defense and intelligence, energy and environmental security.
