Thorough Explanation! Added 'Angle Dependence of Optical Thin Film Filters' to the Technical Trend Keywords.

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.

It is a mirror that reflects light of a specific wavelength and transmits light of other wavelengths.

【1】Are you facing any of these issues? ◆ Is it possible to maintain a uniform reflectance for multiple wavelengths? ◆ Is it manageable if the reflectance decreases at specific wavelengths? ◆ Is color reproducibility achievable? ◆ Is there no problem with the stability of optical performance due to temperature changes or variations in environmental conditions? ◆ Is it possible to ship parts with a special shape? 【2】What is a dichroic mirror? 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.

A bandpass filter that achieves sharp rise and high transmittance in the visible light range (660nm). It is ideal for red laser diodes and LED applications.

Are you having trouble with something like this? - Is it possible to only allow a specific wavelength (633nm) to pass through? - I would like to expand the stop band because light other than the desired wavelength becomes noise. - Can you take into account the range of incident angles? - The shape is special; can it be shipped as a component? Optical bandpass filters are used in various optical applications and are essential for selectively extracting light of specific wavelengths. Passband: An optical bandpass filter allows a specific range of wavelengths to pass through. This range of wavelengths is called the passband and is typically defined by the center wavelength and the wavelength bandwidth. Wavelength selectivity: Optical bandpass filters can have very high wavelength selectivity, emphasizing light of specific wavelengths. This is important in many fields where precise wavelength selectivity is required. A 660nm bandpass filter, which selectively allows light in the specific wavelength range of 660nm to pass through, is commonly used in optical applications. This bandpass filter amplifies or allows light within the wavelength range around 660nm while blocking light of other wavelengths.

This is a bandpass filter that achieves a sharp rise and high transmittance in the infrared range (905nm). It is ideal for TOF sensors and LiDAR.

Are you facing any of these issues? - Is it possible to only transmit specific wavelengths in the infrared range? - I would like a bandpass filter suitable for TOF sensors. - I heard that the wavelength used in LiDAR is 905nm; can you create a film for that? - Since light other than the desired wavelength will cause noise, I would like to widen the stop band. - Given the range of incident angles, can this be taken into account? - Is it possible to mount this on AGVs or OHTs? The 905nm bandpass filter is a filter that transmits specific wavelengths by utilizing light interference through the deposition of dielectric films. Based on our proven results in visible light, we can achieve sharp wavelength separation and high transmission rates in the infrared range (905nm) by controlling the deposition process, making it ideal for photoelectric sensors (such as TOF sensors) that require delicate light.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The use of wood is not limited to construction anymore. The utilization of Hyper CLT Mats is expanding as a new market that connects civil engineering and wood.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
