Why is CADB better than diffusion bonding and optical contacting?
The PPC CADB optical bonding technology is a gentler process than traditional diffusion bonding, working at much lower temperatures and without pressure. This allows us to offer solid state laser configurations with a much wider range of materials and with unique IBS coatings integrated into the assembly. Because of the proprietary chemical processing of the surfaces, it is also much more durable than standard optical contacting, resulting in robust, stable components that can be further polished or coated even after assembly.
