Synthetic Silica Glass (NIFS Series)
NIFS series features a homogeneous refractive index, high transmittance and superior laser durability.
The NIFS series has been developed and manufactured based on nearly 100 years of experience in optics. Various grades are available for different sizes and applications, as well as for numerous optical properties such as wavelengths.
Applications
- Optics for ultraviolet and high-power lasers
- Photomask substrates for semiconductors/FPD
- Lenses for semiconductor and FPD lithography systems, optical components
- Lenses for industrial inspection equipment, optical components
- Synthetic silica glass wafers
- Substrates for various devices (e.g. TFT, CCD, etc.)
- Optics for astronomy
- Optics for medical equipment
- Optics for semiconductor manufacturing equipment
