It is an optical filter that selectively transmits ultraviolet wavelengths (255 nm) while blocking light of other wavelengths (using a substrate from Gohsui Seiko Glass).

Applications in the ultraviolet region are on the rise. At Itsuki Seiko Glass, we have developed filter glass substrates in the IHU series that have a transmission limit wavelength in the ultraviolet range and improved weather resistance to ultraviolet light. Recently, we have successfully deposited dielectric multilayer films to create bandpass filters in the ultraviolet region, as shown in the chart (measured data). (Are you facing these challenges?) ■ I want to transmit only specific wavelengths using aspheric lenses or lens arrays. ■ Is it possible to achieve pinpoint transmission at the UV-C wavelength of 254 nm? ■ Given the limited substrates and deposition materials, is anti-reflective coating feasible? ■ I've heard that measurement difficulty after film deposition is high; can you accommodate this? ■ Is it true that controlling the thickness in the UV region is very challenging due to its thinness? Based on our achievements in visible light, we can achieve high transmission rates in the ultraviolet wavelength range by controlling the deposition process. Additionally, by leveraging our ability to mold aspheric lenses and lens arrays in combination with our deposition technology, we can propose new applications.

Craftsman's Point: Achieved optical properties with a periodically varying refractive index. Application: Expected applications in notable fields such as Raman spectroscopy.

We will achieve optical characteristics that have not been realized before by periodically changing the refractive index. Conventional optical filters (optical thin films) consist of alternating layers of high-refractive-index and low-refractive-index films, which exhibit specific optical properties. In contrast, notch filters (band-stop filters) are deposition products designed to periodically change the refractive index in the thickness direction. A characteristic feature is that no optically unnecessary ripple occurs outside the stopband. We can achieve optical characteristics that were not possible with previous optical thin film processing. (Do you have such challenges?) ■ Is it possible to reflect only around the wavelength of 532nm? ■ I would like the unnecessary parts to be unable to transmit optically. ■ Notch filter? Band-stop filter? Rugate filter? ■ I have heard that the measurement difficulty after deposition is high; can you accommodate this?

It is an optical filter that selectively transmits light below a specific wavelength and blocks light of longer wavelengths.

The short pass filter selectively transmits light with wavelengths below a specific wavelength (800nm) while blocking light with longer wavelengths. This allows for effective handling of light in specific wavelength bands. (Do you have any of the following concerns?) ■ Is it possible to customize due to high wavelength dependence? ■ If light is incident at an angle, performance decreases; can it be controlled? ■ When blocking specific wavelengths, there may be a decrease in transmittance. ■ Can it cause chromatic aberration? ■ Is it difficult to control multiple wavelengths simultaneously?

A dichroic mirror is a mirror that reflects light of specific wavelengths while allowing other wavelengths to pass through. It consists of multiple layers, each with different optical properties. This characteristic allows for the effective separation, combination, or blocking of light at different wavelengths. 【3】Features of dichroic mirrors - Spectral separation Dichroic mirrors are used for spectral separation by selecting and reflecting or transmitting light of specific wavelengths from incident light. For example, they are used in optical devices that extract and detect light of specific wavelengths. - Light filtering They are used as filters to selectively remove light of specific wavelengths. This allows for the removal of unwanted light, enabling only the desired wavelengths to pass through.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
