Alluxa offers and manufactures high-performance optical thin films that are used in wide ranging applications including life sciences, research, semiconductor, and LIDAR. All of Alluxa's thin-film optical filters and mirrors are hard-coated using a proprietary plasma deposition process on equipment that was designed and built by our team. This allows us to repeatably produce the same high-performance optical thin films in all of our coating chambers.
Alluxa is an ISO 9001:2008 certified, ITAR registered, optical coating manufacturer located in Santa Rosa, California. Founded in 2007 by a team of thin-film deposition veterans, Alluxa's core team brings together decades of expertise and diverse backgrounds in deposition, automation, metrology, and optics.
We serve a wide range of markets including: Aerospace, astronomy, automotive, biotechnology, chemical technology, communications, environmental monitoring and sensing, forensic science, imaging, inspection and identification, lighting, machine vision, research, medical and biomedical, microscopy, military, photonics manufacturing, remote sensing, LIDAR, and spectroscopy.

Improving Fluorescence and Raman Techniques for Environmental Microplastic Analysis
March 31st 2025A recent study conducted at the LaserLaB Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands) explored spectroscopic imaging techniques, including Raman and fluorescence microscopy, for characterizing microplastics (MPs), focusing on optimizing sample preparation, particularly density separation, and Nile Red staining.Spectroscopy spoke to Merel Konings, corresponding author of the paper resulting from the study, about her work
New Study Provides Insights into Chiral Smectic Phases
March 31st 2025Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the molecular arrangement of the 7HH6 compound’s smectic phases using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy.
