Cold mirror: A filter that transmits near-infrared light and reflects visible light.

The competition for the practical application of quantum computers is accelerating on a global scale. However, one of the barriers faced by researchers and engineers working on development at the forefront is the reality that "components cannot be procured." High-precision optical elements and optical thin films are essential to the foundation of quantum systems, yet suppliers capable of meeting the specific requirements of quantum optics are limited worldwide. Of course, at this point, Adachi New Industries cannot produce all products through film deposition and manufacturing, but we present this co-creation proposal to developers to overcome that barrier together. 01: Quantum Computers and Optical Thin Films 02: Optical Thin Film Products Required for Quantum Systems—Specific Product Groups and Required Specifications 03: Reasons Why Quantum Optical Coatings Are Difficult—Structure of Technical Challenges 04: Co-creation with Master Coatings—Development Process Starting from Small-Scale Prototyping Summary Adachi New Industries' "Master Coatings" will accompany you as a partner to overcome these barriers together, from the initial concept stage of development to the mass production phase. Starting with small-scale prototyping, we will cycle through prototyping and evaluation together, "co-creating" the optical thin films required for quantum devices—this is our co-creation proposal.

In recent years, the boundary between beauty and technology has begun to rapidly dissolve. The demand for at-home skincare devices continues to expand globally, with some areas, such as light-based treatment devices (phototherapy), recording growth of over 20% year-on-year as of 2024. These products offer more than just simple "apply and layer" beauty. They provide an experience that precisely delivers physical energies such as light, heat, electric currents, and sound waves to the skin. Let’s pose a question. "What exactly is controlling that light?" One answer lies in optical thin-film technology. Invisible nanometer-scale films quietly but decisively influence the performance of beauty devices. This article will explore the role and potential of optical thin films in the beauty tech field from the perspective of product development and engineering. 1: What is optical thin film? 2: Scenes of optical thin film utilization in beauty tech 3: Points and precautions during design and adoption 4: Future prospects—The fusion of personalized beauty and optical thin films Summary: "Invisible technology" is changing the beauty experience.

The evolution of food tech goes beyond mere efficiency and automation. Alternative proteins, cultured meat, smart agriculture, food waste reduction, personalized nutrition design—what supports the forefront of these advancements is sensing technology that visualizes "invisible information." At the core of this is "light." Optical thin films are key components that read the state of food and raw materials non-contact, quickly, and with high precision by selectively transmitting, reflecting, or blocking specific wavelengths. We, Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd., propose co-creation with the food tech sector as a partner that selects, controls, and designs light, including environmental resistance. 1. Entering an era of "seeing" food quality through wavelengths 2. Advancements in "foreign substance inspection" and optical thin films 3. Co-creation with food tech companies! 4. Technical support from the conceptual stage Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd. integrates spectral design, film formation technology, and environmental durability evaluation, accompanying you from the conceptual stage to mass production implementation as a co-creation partner that supports food safety, quality, and experiential value. Shall we create next-generation food tech products together, starting from the design of light? For more details, please check our company website.

In the medical and healthcare fields, light has already become an indispensable infrastructure. From endoscopes, fluorescence observation devices, blood analyzers, pulse oximeters, and wearable vital sensors to regenerative medicine and phototherapy devices, optical control technologies such as "wavelength selection," "reflection control," "stray light suppression," and "high-sensitivity detection" are required in every scenario. However, in actual design settings, it cannot be said that there are many cases where equipment manufacturers and optical thin film manufacturers engage in sufficient discussions from the early stages. As a result, filters and mirrors are often "added later" in the optical system's post-processing, leaving room for improvements in S/N ratio, miniaturization, and low power consumption that should have originally been achieved. We will redefine the role of optical thin films in the medical and healthcare fields and explore the possibilities from the perspective of "functional co-creation" rather than just "material supply." 1. The essence of wavelength design in biosensing 2. How reflection and absorption control change the image quality of endoscopes and observation systems 3. Wearable medical devices and angle-dependent design 4. High-durability thin films in phototherapy and sterilization fields The option of co-creation - a proposal from Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd.
