10⁻⁹ m. That’s the scale we work at every day. Happy Nanotechnology Day!

Thin-film coatings are nanotechnology you can hold in your hand. Stack dozens of layers, each from a few to a few hundred nanometers thick, and you control how a surface reflects, transmits, resists wear or conducts electricity.

That’s what’s behind AR coatings, precision filters, high-reflection mirrors, DLC protection and conductive ITO layers.

At I-Photonics UAB, we build the PVD and PECVD systems that deposit these layers, and we run coating services for customers who need nanometer precision batch after batch.
