Location: Lithuania
Capabilities: Inertial, Lasers, Optics
OPTOMAN is a high-tech manufacturer specializing in application-optimized laser optics for the most demanding laser fusion systems. Utilizing Ion-Beam Sputtering (IBS) technology, OPTOMAN delivers optics engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) and high-repetition-rate laser-driven fusion.
The company addresses the industry’s most critical bottlenecks: laser-induced damage and optical degradation. Their “SuperHero” power mirrors and non-degrading optics feature ultra-low absorption (sub-ppm levels) and world-record Laser-Induced Damage Thresholds (LIDT), ensuring longevity across billions of shots.
With one of the world’s largest IBS coating chambers, OPTOMAN manufactures large-aperture optics up to ⌀420 mm (⌀600 mm in development) – a critical capability for the beam apertures required in fusion laser architectures. Custom solutions include high-LIDT mirrors, thin-film polarizers, beam splitters, multiwavelength optics, AR coated winows and lenses optimized for Nd:YAG and Yb:YAG as well as ArF and KrF fusion-driver wavelengths.
