Title: Nicholas Levi Bredberg: Inventor of Infrared Optical Coatings
Introduction
Nicholas Levi Bredberg is an inventor associated with Corning Incorporated and based in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. His patent work concerns optical materials designed to transmit long-wave infrared radiation.
Latest Patents
Bredberg is named on 1 patent, titled “Anti-reflective coatings for IR-transmitting substrates.” The patent describes optical elements with ytterbium fluoride (YbF₃) layers designed for high transmittance in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectral range. The layers are produced through ion-assisted deposition under high-voltage conditions, creating dense, uniform films with few defects. The described material quality helps reduce absorption, particularly at wavelengths above 10.0 microns. The patent reports an extinction coefficient below 0.0400 at a wavelength of 13.5 microns.
Career Highlights
Bredberg’s listed company affiliation is Corning Incorporated. His patent reflects work on improving the performance of infrared-transmitting optical elements through thin-film coating technology.
Collaborations
Lance Changyong Kim and Yongli Xu are listed as Bredberg’s coworkers.
Conclusion
Nicholas Levi Bredberg’s patent contribution focuses on YbF₃ coatings that support low-absorption, high-transmittance optical elements for the LWIR range.
