Space – Materion Balzers Optics has longtime experience in design and manufacturing of coated components for remote sensing from space, space based science missions and ground-based astronomy applications

Optical multi-spectral remote sensing of the earth from air and space uses various spectral bands in the VIS and NIR (VNIR) region and several channels in the Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) to determine diverse bio-geophysical variables. Key requirement for these products is extreme reliability under harsh environmental conditions. High quality bandpass filters with steepband edges, excellent homogeneity and wide and deep blocking require sophisticated layer designs with a multiplicity of layers and perfect monitored stable coating processes. Materion Balzers Optics delivers bandpass filters as stripes, for filter wheels and as filter assemblies. In addition, Materion Balzers Optics also delivers dichroic splitter devices, located in back-focal path of telescopes, telescope relay lenses and redirection mirrors and laser windows. At Materion Balzers Optics, a team of project engineers is familiar with the planning and performing of developments, qualification programs and manufacturing and testing of flight hardware for the space industry.
