Method for manufacturing a coated lens

A method for manufacturing of a coated lens, the method comprising at least the steps of

• applying at least one coating precursor material to at least one surface of an uncoated or precoated optical lens substrate,
• drying and hardening and/or sintering and/or curing the at least one coating precursor material by applying at least one single electromagnetic pulse to an optical lens substrate having the coating precursor material to convert the at least one coating precursor material into at least one coating,
• wherein
• at least one mechanical property and/or at least one optical property and/or at least one functional property each of the coated lens is adjusted based on a recipe used for the conversion of the at least one coating precursor material into at least one coating, the recipe being a selection of a plurality of process parameters which are simultaneously or sequentially used to meet a requirement or to obtain a target value of exact one mechanical property and/or exact one optical property and/or exact one functional property.

A method for manufacturing a coated lens, the coated lens comprising an uncoated or precoated optical lens substrate and at least one coating, the method comprising the following steps:

• a) providing at least one uncoated or precoated optical lens substrate having a front surface and a back surface, the optical lens substrate having a first transmittance within a wavelength range A,
• b) applying at least one coating precursor material to at least one of the surfaces of the uncoated or precoated optical lens substrate, the coating precursor material having a second transmittance within a wavelength range B,
• c) applying at least one single electromagnetic pulse to the at least one surface of the uncoated or precoated optical lens substrate having the at least one coating precursor material resulting in the coated lens, the single electromagnetic pulse having a wavelength range C,
• wherein
• the wavelength range B of the second transmittance encompasses the wavelength range A of the first transmittance,
• the wavelength range C of the single electromagnetic pulse encompasses the wavelength range A of the first transmittance and the wavelength range B of the second transmittance,
• in the wavelength range A, the single electromagnetic pulse passes through the optical lens substrate and the coating precursor material,
• in the wavelength range B, the single electromagnetic pulse passes through the coating precursor material,
• in the wavelength range C not encompassing the wavelength range A, the part of the single electromagnetic pulse of the remaining wavelength C is at least partially absorbed by the optical lens substrate.
