Event Description: Surface defects are an unpleasant reality for optical coating producers. They can occur unexpectedly and ruin batches of critical product, often for reasons that are difficult to detect. They may cause customer returns and even result in a loss of business. They will certainly cause you distress!
How can this be avoided? What are the best ways to detect them early in the process? How can you analyze them to find a clear root cause? What are some best practice methods to minimize defects, whether they occur in handling, loading, or deposition?
Let’s discuss your problems in detail with the help of a diverse group of panelists representing defect metrology, coating system manufacturers, and coating producers themselves. In this interactive, collaborative session our panelists will present unique perspectives based on their experience, then hand the conversation to the audience to so that your specific problems can be discussed and hopefully solved!
Panelists:
• Binyamin Rubin (Veeco Instruments)
• Timothy Potts (Dark Field Technologies)
• Thomas Gischkat (Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF
