Alluxa offers and manufactures high-performance optical thin films that are used in wide ranging applications including life sciences, research, semiconductor, and LIDAR. All of Alluxa's thin-film optical filters and mirrors are hard-coated using a proprietary plasma deposition process on equipment that was designed and built by our team. This allows us to repeatably produce the same high-performance optical thin films in all of our coating chambers.
Alluxa is an ISO 9001:2008 certified, ITAR registered, optical coating manufacturer located in Santa Rosa, California. Founded in 2007 by a team of thin-film deposition veterans, Alluxa's core team brings together decades of expertise and diverse backgrounds in deposition, automation, metrology, and optics.
We serve a wide range of markets including: Aerospace, astronomy, automotive, biotechnology, chemical technology, communications, environmental monitoring and sensing, forensic science, imaging, inspection and identification, lighting, machine vision, research, medical and biomedical, microscopy, military, photonics manufacturing, remote sensing, LIDAR, and spectroscopy.

Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
New Probes for NIR Monitoring of Polymer Injection Molding Composition in Real-Time
May 2nd 2024Researchers from Kyoto University and Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology have developed innovative probes to monitor the chemical composition of biodegradable polymer blends during injection molding. This breakthrough could lead to improved production efficiency and reduced waste in the polymer industry.
