ITO and IMITO Coatings

ITO & IMITO

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coatings provide a unique combination of high optical transparency and excellent electrical conductivity, making them ideal for applications requiring transparent electrodes, EMI shielding, and heated optics. Index Matched ITO (IMITO) coatings take performance a step further by optimizing refractive index matching, reducing surface reflections while maintaining conductivity.

At Optical Filter Source, we specialize in precision ITO and IMITO coatings for glass and crystalline substrates, delivering superior optical and electrical performance for high-tech applications.

Key Benefits of ITO & IMITO Coatings

  • High Optical Clarity – Maintains transparency across visible and infrared (IR) wavelengths
  • Excellent Conductivity – Provides uniform electrical properties for transparent electrodes
  • Low Reflectivity (IMITO) – Reduces unwanted reflections for enhanced optical performance
  • Durable & Customizable – Engineered for precision optics, displays, sensors, and EMI shielding

Specialization in Glass & Crystal Substrates

Our advanced ITO and IMITO coatings are optimized for glass and crystalline materials, ensuring maximum efficiency in demanding environments. We offer:

Glass substrates – Fused silica, BK7, borosilicate, and other precision optical glasses
