The impact of our work extends beyond academia. Our efforts aim to bring the highest performance thin film manufacturing techniques to the UK, specifically in the area of ion beam deposition, to support the thriving photonics sector.
To ensure transparency and accountability in our work, we employ established tracking systems to record our engagement with SMEs. Regularly collated reports provide clear summaries of project objectives, key challenges addressed, proposed follow-up work, and strategies for overcoming barriers to production. We believe in making our work accessible, and in the spirit of openness, we maintain an online wiki site summarising our activities in optical coatings and SME projects.
Join us as we continue to foster innovation in optical coatings, supporting transformative applications in photonics and beyond.
