In high-stakes photonic systems – whether directing multi-kilowatt laser beams, imaging distant galaxies, or enabling minimally invasive surgery – optical windows serve as the critical interface between delicate components and hostile environments. At Bena Optics, we engineer these transparent guardians to surpass conventional performance limits: transmitting >99.99% of target wavelengths while resisting thermal distortion, sand erosion at Mach 5, and biofilms in human tissue.
Within our ISO Class 5 cleanrooms, Bena conquers four fundamental barriers:
Ultra-Broadband Transmission (0.15-20μm): Ion beam sputtering from the beam splitter factory achieves <0.05% reflectivity with our patented AR coatings
Zero Thermal Distortion: FEM-optimized designs maintain <λ/10 wavefront error under 5kW/cm² laser loads
Microscale Armoring: Plasma-assisted polishing delivers 22 GPa surface hardness on sapphire
Molecular Sealing: MgF₂ coatings with 3nm pore density resist HF vapor corrosion
Bena's material library solves previously impossible tradeoffs:
Material | Proprietary Process | Performance Leap | Deployment |
|---|---|---|---|
Laser Plasma Polishing | Ra 0.2nm surface | James Webb UV Calibration | |
CaF₂ Crystal | SPDT Diamond Turning | λ/20 @633nm flatness | ASML EUV Lithography |
CVD Diamond | Microwave Plasma CVD | 2200W/mK conductivity | Hypersonic Dome (Ma7) |
MgAl₂O₄ | Reaction Sintering | <10nm/cm birefringence | Javelin Missile Seeker |
