Hi, Many years back at another company I used a product similar to what you are describing.
It is made by Southwall Technologies. The link is: http://www.southwall.com/products/display/shielding.html#altair This material is 10 to 20 Ohms/Square and they used to have other versions that were more light transmissive at a cost of higher resistance. We used to have it laminated to a Plexiglass sheet using optical cement and the grounded it in the application. They make coatings for Plasma Display Tubes (commercial big screen TV applications) too. They may even be able to make something special for you. There is always a light transmissibility cost with any optical EMC application. Source suppression may actually be an easier way to meet overall specifications instead of containment. A lot of times that is not possible. I don't know what the laser will do with a conductive coating, it may reflect some of the energy so be careful. There will also be a color change with any conductive coating in the camera application, reflections may also be a problem. Good luck to you, Philip Ross Wellington Mgr.

Have been asked to find an EMC Coating that can be used on a window. Window being used for Low Light Camera, Colour Camera and 1.54micron Laser. Coatings considered so far cause problems with attenuation of the Laser. Companies approached so far Chomerics and Pilkingtons. Anybody covered this ground previously?
