ncreased application of optical coatings in solar cells is expected to offer major opportunities to the global optical coating market.Optical coating is an amalgamation of thin layers of films that produce interference effects to improve transmission and reflection properties of an optical system. Coatings improve optical functions and protect the optic from extreme environmental conditions. These coatings are manufactured using metals, oxides, and rare earth materials.

Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 02/28/2018 --The global optical coating market is segmented based on type, technology, end-use industry, and geography. Based on type of optical coating, the market is divided into antireflection, high reflection, transparent conductive, filter, beamsplitter, electrochromic, and partial reflection coatings. Technology-based classification includes vacuum deposition, E-beam evaporation technology, sputtering technology, and ion-assisted deposition technologies. By end-use industry, the market is divided into electronics & semiconductor, military & defense, automotive, construction, solar, and medical. Antireflective (AR) coatings reduce the multiple surface reflectance and enhance the transmission of light through the optical substrate. By eliminating the stray light, these coatings enhance the contrast of the image. They are majorly used in corrective lenses, camera lens, and solar cells.

Vacuum deposition technology was the largest revenue generator in 2015, as this technology is a surface engineering treatment used to deposit layers of coating material atom by atom on the optical substrate. The technology puts coating materials into vapor state, where the process of obtaining vapors from liquid or solid source is called physical vapor deposition. On the other hand, the process wherein the vapors are obtained from the chemical reaction is called chemical vapor deposition. The process is environmentally friendly, as it is carried out under vacuum. The technique is applicable for coating magnetic films, semiconductors devices, mirrors, solar panels, and others.
