Infrared reflection prevention film: A filter that efficiently transmits the wavelength range of 9μm.

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.

Even in the current era of accelerating digitalization, stationery and office supplies remain indispensable to our work and learning. Not only traditional products like notebooks and writing instruments, but also electronic whiteboards, tablet devices, conference systems, digital signage, and authentication cards are becoming increasingly advanced in office spaces year by year. In particular, recent market changes such as hybrid work, the ICT transformation in education, the development of smart offices, enhanced information security, and the introduction of sensing technologies have made "visibility," "usability," and "information reading accuracy" significantly influence product value. Among these, the technology for "controlling light" has begun to attract attention. 01: Stationery and office supplies are becoming "information devices." 02: AR coatings change "visibility" and "ease of work." 03: The evolution of digital stationery and sensing technology. 04: New possibilities for "attractive stationery" and optical thin films. Summary: The next stationery and office supplies will be differentiated by "light." For more details, please visit our company website.

Light includes "visible light," which can be seen by the human eye, and invisible light. Near-infrared (NIR) is one type of "invisible light" located right next to visible light. In fact, it is deeply involved in various devices and industrial processes around us, and its importance has been increasing in recent years. We will explain clearly from the basics of "What is near-infrared?" to the fields in which it is used, and its relationship with optical coating technology. 01: What is near-infrared? — Organizing the "companions" of light 02: Where is near-infrared used? — Expanding application fields 03: The relationship between near-infrared and optical coatings — The power of "thin films" that enhance performance 04: The precision required for near-infrared filters Summary: The key to utilizing near-infrared lies in precise optical thin films Near-infrared compatible filter "Artisan Infrared" For more details, please visit our company website.

The areas where drones are active are rapidly expanding from surveying, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, logistics, and disaster prevention to defense and security fields in recent years. In addition to the demand for high-precision sensing in the private sector, the requirements for optical systems mounted on drones are becoming increasingly stringent in defense applications such as border surveillance, information gathering, search and rescue, and unmanned operational support. While the miniaturization and weight reduction of the aircraft are progressing, the proposition of "obtaining more precise information in harsher environments" remains unchanged. One key to solving this contradiction is optical thin film technology. Optical thin films, which control the reflection, transmission, and blocking of light at the nanometer level, are a technology that fundamentally enhances the performance of mounted sensors across the visible light, near-infrared, and thermal infrared ranges. We will introduce the role that optical thin films play in drone development from the perspectives of industry, agriculture, and defense. 1. What are optical thin films? — Basic knowledge for drone developers 2. By field: The roles played by optical thin films 3. Featured technology: 8-14μm band infrared AR coating 4. Quick reference table for utilization images by development phase 5. Proposal for co-creation — Let's start together from a prototype For more details, please refer to our company website.
