PFG Optics delivers high-performance, repeatable coatings using electron-beam (E-beam) evaporation with ion-assisted deposition (IAD). We support both fully fabricated and coated optics as well as coat-only services on customer-supplied substrates.
PFG's coatings are engineered for MIL-SPEC durability and spectral performance, backed by our in-house testing capabilities for fast turnaround and reliability. Our extensive stock of witness sample glass types means your coating project moves forward in days, not weeks.
Keeping optical fabrication and coating under one roof delivers measurable advantages in quality, speed, and cost. With full process ownership, PFG simplifies engineering and procurement by delivering finished specs without the need to add design budget for post-coating substrate changes. Integrated workflows also shorten lead times, simplify communication, and enable faster iteration when designs evolve. The result is more consistent performance, improved schedule reliability, and a streamlined supply chain for mission-critical programs.
