Applications Le laser
With PACA2M, CILAS has made a major investment in a large coating machine, that will allow to address new markets with large-sized optics.
The first contracts are related to the optical coating of reflectors for the Laser Mega Joule program, mirrors for solar furnaces, mirrors for space and ground telescopes.
The PACA2M platform also has the advantage of addressing mass production markets, since the capacity of the coating machine enables a very large number of components to be processed simultaneously at very competitive prices.
