DLCcs - Diamond Like Carbon Coating System

 
The Leybold Optics DLCcs is a high vacuum PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition) system for precision optics applications. The DLCcs chambers are used by industry leaders to produce optical and thermal imaging systems. The Leybold Optics R&D and process team is your partner for customized processes.  
 

Extremely hard layer surfaces

The system is designed for the production of diamond like hard carbon (DLC) layer coatings for IR anti-reflex applications, including but not limited to, germanium (Ge) and silicon (Si). The extremely hard DLC layer protects exposed optics surfaces and also increases infrared transmittance. 

High accuracy with Optical Monitoring

The DLCcs features a very stable automatic coating process. The advanced optical layer monitoring guarantees unparalleled layer thickness, accuracy, and reproducibility.

Features & Benefits:
