• Since 2003 Ion Beam Optics has provided leading edge consulting services for many advanced thin-film coating projects
• In 1973 Michael Fulton (President) started working at Optical Coating Laboratory Inc. (OCLI—now JDS Uniphase)
• During Michael’s 15 years at OCLI, he was the first in the world to put the end-Hall broad beam ion source (Kaufman) into production
• Ion beam processing is a particular specialty, concentrating on Ion-Assisted-Deposition (IAD) and Filtered Cathodic Arc (FCA) technology
• Ion Beam Optics (IBO) has three important Associates: William Southwell (Table Mountain Optics); Samuel Pellicori (Pellicori Optical Consulting); and Carol Martinez (formally with Rockwell Science Center)
• Optical Filter Design: IBO provides advance design support for complex and demanding projects (we never design coatings without a clear pathway to manufacturing)
• Advanced Process Development: IBO works with producers of thin-film coatings to develop sophisticated technical solutions to challenging deposition process requirements
• Deposition Equipment Design: IBO contributes to the design of deposition equipment to provide the customer with process manufacturability
• Process Control: IBO and Associates have years of experience in advanced process monitoring technology and Statistical Process Control (SPC)
• Broad Range of Experience: IBO and Associates have worked on projects ranging form advanced space optics to large volume commercial programs; temperature sensitive substrates; wavelength range from the UV to the far IR

Sustainable Energy Project

• Michael Fulton has been working on space power applications from the beginning of his career at OCLI
• IBO has committed its expertise and experience to bring advance solar power technology from space into the terrestrial environment
