Protect Your Optical System from the Hidden Threat of Pinholes
Pinholes might be small, but tiny pinholes in your optical coating can have a huge impact on your system’s performance — causing light leakage, reducing durability, and leading to unexpected failures.
But why do pinholes form in the first place, and how can you avoid them?
In an article, Chroma Technology explores the origins of pinholes, the different types that can occur, and why they’re a common challenge in optical coatings.
You’ll also learn how Chroma’s advanced manufacturing processes are designed to prevent pinholes from forming and to catch them if they do. This is how Chroma ensures that their filters maintain the highest standards for performance and reliability.
Don’t let these microscopic defects affect your work. Learn more in the full post, “Pinholes in Optical Coatings: Causes, Effects, and Solutions.”
