LS - Lone Star Shatter Shield
Lone Star Shatter Shield is a DOTI first surface mirror product laminated for added structural strength and safety. DOTI has developed the ability to
laminate to glass, acrylic, metals, etc. This laminating process is a custom DOTI-developed application that we have already been successful in applying
to various requirements including techniques for laminating collimating mirrors to create mirrors that are nearly impossible to rupture.
DOTI's original laminating process was developed to meet a customer's need to laminate together dissimilar materials in a highly customized manner. The
laminated optical components needed to meet specific transmission characteristics, internal quality requirements, and certain rigidity standards. DOTI
successfully developed the product line not only to meet this customer's requirement; we then applied its many successes to several other applications
areas. A significant benefit of this process is that the laminated materials become highly break and shatter resistant. Even if a customer were to damage
this mirror, it will probably be able to be used without compromising its utility, while ordering a replacement mirror. This process has been tested to
ANSI Z97.1 (L) Level B. We have verified this process. Verification of process runs or required changes can be accomplished.
• Hand Selected Glass:
DOTI provides permanent lamination of the highest quality glass available (without grinding and polishing) as its "standard" LS product.
• DOTI's Highest Optical Quality:
DOTI is able to control its grinding and polishing processes to an incredible degree and are able to provide customers with extremely flat laminated
mirror substrates that are extremely rupture resistant.
• Laminated Beam Splitters:
DOTI has laminated beam splitter coated substrates for use where the beam splitters would be used in a public setting. The customers wanted to
mitigate risk. DOTI has laminated beam splitting coatings INSIDE a "sandwich" which gave the customer the added safety benefit they were looking
for, as well as having the additional advantage of ensuring that the optical coatings would not be rubbed off with the repeated cleanings needed when
optics are subjected to public exposure.

glass is in the beginning stages of lamination and will be used in solar testing
once completed.
