Optiforms to Showcase ORO79 Gold Plating: Redefining Performance Standards for Defense and Aerospace Optics TEMECULA, CA – Optiforms, Inc., a leader in precision electroformed optics and advanced surface finishes, is proud to announce the showcase of its flagship ORO79 Gold Plating at the upcoming SPIE Defense + Security exhibition. Engineered for the most demanding infrared (IR) and laser applications, ORO79 offers a level of purity and durability that exceeds industry standards, providing mission-critical reliability for defense systems. Outperforming the NIST Industry Standard While standard gold platings often struggle to maintain both high reflectance and extreme durability, ORO79 was developed to surpass the benchmarks set by NIST and international specifications (ASTM B 488 and MIL-G-45204). Key performance advantages include: - Superior Purity: ORO79 achieves a minimum deposit purity of 99.986%, significantly exceeding the 99.90% requirement for MIL-DTL-45204 Type III standards. This ultra-high purity ensures maximum reflectance in the near-to-far infrared spectrum. - Optimized Hardness: Rated at Class C Hardness (200 Knoop), ORO79 provides the robust physical durability required for harsh defense environments without sacrificing optical integrity. - Elite Laser Damage Threshold (LDT): Tested across multiple wavelengths—including 1064 nm and 10.6 µm—ORO79 demonstrates exceptional resistance to high-power irradiance and fluence, making it the ideal choice for high-energy laser systems and directed energy applications. - Environmental Stability: As a totally inert finish, ORO79 offers unmatched corrosion resistance and thermal stability, ensuring consistent performance in vacuum environments and extreme temperature fluctuations. Precision Engineering for Defense Applications Optiforms specializes in applying ORO79 to complex geometries through its proprietary electrodeposition process. This ensures uniform thickness and coverage on critical components, including parabolic reflectors, infrared sensor systems, and intricate coldshields. By exceeding traditional NIST industry standards, ORO79 provides a significant advantage in both system sensitivity and component longevity. Visit Optiforms at SPIE Defense + Security Attendees are invited to visit Booth #415 to view ORO79-plated components and discuss custom optical requirements with the Optiforms technical team.
