Introducing “S.L.A.M.” ™
Superior Light Absorbing Metal
Imperial Machine & Tool Co. is proud to introduce a groundbreaking new class of Light-Absorbing Surface Treatment to the Photonics Industry.
S.L.A.M.™ is Trademarked and Patent Pending
By utilizing Metal Additive Manufacturing and Scientific Insight, Imperial has developed a patent pending approach to integrating Superior Light Absorbing surface treatments into metal components.
Applications include Beam Dumps, Optical Assembly Housings, Shrouds, and much more.
This approach offers superior light absorption properties compared to legacy surface treatments, while offering other advantages including faster and more reliable production methods.
The S.L.A.M.™ treatment enables our customers to achieve superior light absorption properties while eliminating manufacturing complexity. Thanks to the AM-based approach employed, surface treatments can be fine-tuned to achieve specific light absorbing performance goals.
Components developed with Imperial’s S.L.A.M.™ treatment can be easily and reliably reproduced, eliminating supply chain risks.
S.L.A.M.™ represents a valuable alternative to many of the “standard” light absorbing coatings currently used in the photonics industry.
S.L.A.M.™ technology is poised to play a foundational role in the next generation of high-performance photonics components.
Imperial is well versed in working with customers to prepare legacy designs to receive the S.L.A.M.™ treatment. In addition, Imperial has dedicated engineering talent to help customers develop and optimize new designs that tap into the full potential of S.L.A.M.™ technology.
