Laser Gold and Laser Black Infrared Coatings

Laser Gold plating is a proprietary, pure, hard electrochemically deposited gold coating that combines the theoretical reflectivity and emissivity of gold, with a surface that can actually be physically cleaned!

Laser Gold can be applied to imaging optics with no distortion of the optical figure and it's remarkably low emissivity (.02) makes it the ideal choice for thermal control of spacecraft components.

A process that has been refined for more than twenty years, Laser Gold has been the sole and single NIST standard (#2011) for infrared reflective material. For more than 15 years.

Epner Technology is proud that Laser Gold plating has been specified on some of our nation's most advanced military and space programs.

Laser Black is a semi-fragile copper oxide that approaches a black body in thermal absorption. In one customer's words, "It swallows light."
