海洋薄膜公司Ocean Thin Films     
　微型光子学行业的领军人，海洋光学宣布旗下薄膜分部独立成为一家新公司，取名为海洋薄膜公司(www.oceanthinfilms.com ), 主要应用在科学、生物医药、国防、计量和娱乐行业，设计和制造获得专利的二向色滤光片及精密光学部件。　　

　　始创于1999年，海洋薄膜最初为海洋光学的分部，主要设计生产大量的二向色光学滤光片，用于根据波长选择性的光传输。这些精密光学滤光片及其他光学部件可整合到一些其它的应用上，例如可用于建筑及娱乐用安装的变色灯，可用于CCD相机及光谱成像等科学仪器，以及可用于国防目标命中系统。2008年11月，海洋薄膜收购了美国欧瑞康(Oerlikon)光学公司旗下的科罗拉多业务部门，这增强了海洋薄膜在生命科学、医疗和其他一些科学应用方面的光学部件及配件的供应能力。

　　海洋薄膜总裁费尔•布什巴母(Phil Buchsbaum)说，“我们一直就被自己公司已有的挑战和机遇所激励。再加上收购欧瑞康为我们带来了额外的专业技术和生产能力，加之近期扩充了佛罗里达的生产设施，我们已经做好充分的准备立即开展工作，为各行各业生产新一代高品质的，具有创新性的光学元器件及薄膜产品。”

　　海洋薄膜位于美国科罗拉多，拥有110名雇员，并于近期扩充了其位于美国佛罗里达的生产设施。该团队使用高级光刻设备及真空淀积系统，为生产系统及原型光学系统提供模式化最优解决方案。

    
Established in 1999 as a division within Ocean Optics, Ocean Thin Films designs and produces high-volume dichroic optical filters, which are used to selectively transmit light according to its wavelength. These precision filters and other optical components can be integrated into applications such as color-changing light for architectural and entertainment installations, CCD camera and spectral imaging for scientific instrumentation, and targeting for defense applications. In November 2008, Ocean Thin Films acquired the Golden, Colo., operation of Oerlikon Optics USA, which bolstered the company's offering in optical components and subassemblies for instrumentation used in the life sciences, medical applications and additional scientific applications.

"We are excited by the challenges and opportunities of operating as our own company." said Phil Buchsbaum, President of Ocean Thin Films. "With the additional expertise and capacity the Oerlikon acquisition affords us, plus recent expansion of our Florida facility, we are ready to hit the ground running with a new generation of quality, innovative optical and thin film products for a diverse range of industries."

Ocean Thin Films has 110 employees, with locations in Golden, Colo., and a recently expanded 30,000 square-foot facility in Largo, Fla. The group utilizes advanced lithography equipment and vacuum deposition systems to provide optimal patterned solutions for both production and prototype optical systems.
