Ocean Photonics Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the Science and Technology Museum from November 12 (Tuesday) to November 14 (Thursday), 2019, at the Light and Laser Science and Technology Fair 2019, showcasing the ultra-low reflectance black coating "Vantablack," as well as laser systems and optical measurement-related equipment.

Ocean Photonics Co., Ltd. will exhibit at JASIS 2019, held at Makuhari Messe in September 2019, showcasing various demonstrations of reflection measurement and color measurement systems, as well as displaying our new product, the ultra-low reflection black coating "Vantablack."

Ocean Photonics, the agent for the American small spectrometer manufacturer Ocean Optics, changed its name to Ocean Insight on June 24, 2019. This name change signifies an evolution from a supplier of spectroscopic products to a company that provides knowledge about spectra. Ocean Insight aims to "unlock the unknown" by leveraging spectral knowledge to offer solutions that contribute to a safer, cleaner, and healthier future in collaboration with its customers and society. To provide practical insights, Ocean Insight will work with scientists, engineers, and businesses to solve problems.

Ocean Photonics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo, Representative: Shingo Funaki) has signed a dealership agreement with Surrey Nanosystems Ltd. in the UK and has begun selling their ultra-low reflectivity material, VantablackR. Vantablack is a black coating that is the darkest material in the world. With a reflectivity of just 0.036%, it reflects almost no light, making objects coated with it appear two-dimensional to the human eye. Developed as part of a blackbody calibration system for satellites, Vantablack is expected to have a wide range of applications as a coating material, leveraging its unique physical and optical properties for uses from satellite-mounted equipment to artworks. Since Vantablack is coated using a vacuum deposition method, there are limitations regarding materials, shapes, and sizes; however, by using the spray version, Vantablack S-VIS (with a reflectivity of 0.2%), it becomes possible to coat variously shaped enclosures.
