Abstract
The Optical Security and Performance (OSP) division of VIAVI Solutions just celebrated its 75th anniversary. With over $300M annual revenue OSP is one of the largest optical coating providers worldwide. OSP’s market focus is on anti-counterfeiting, automotive, consumer electronics, government & aerospace, and spectral sensing. In this presentation we will highlight some of OSPs industrial challenges and recent accomplishments to serve our customers. One focus will be on consumer electronics filters with rapid innovation demand especially towards miniaturization, while demanding high volumes with exceptional optical performance, accompanied by large price pressure. A second focus will be on components for free-space optical communications, where optics tend to be larger form factors. Tight wavefront aberration requirements drive tight specifications for substrate quality and coating requirements. We will discuss metrology investments that enable development and product assurance.
