Glass is everywhere: in buildings, cars, displays, and solar panels. What really defines its performance today is the coating applied on top. Low-E layers cut energy costs, anti-reflective coatings improve clarity, and new smart or self-cleaning coatings open the door to new applications.
The challenge is that coatings only work if they are uniform, durable, and precisely engineered. Even small variations in thickness or optical behavior can affect performance. This is where spectroscopy proves its value by giving manufacturers and researchers accurate, real-time insight into how coatings behave.
In this white paper, we look at how spectroscopic techniques and methods such as UV-Vis-NIR, thin-film metrology, Raman, and in-line monitoring are used to ensure reliable quality and to speed up the development of new glass technologies.
Inside you’ll find:
- The main challenges in glass and coating production, from durability to uniformity
- How spectroscopy provides non-destructive feedback for both R&D and production
- Research examples on self-cleaning and anti-reflective coatings
- Examples of how our instruments support coating development and industrial scale-up
