View Product SpecsThe Global Shift Toward High-Precision Micro-Optics
As microelectronics approach physical transistor limits, optical interconnections, photonics integrated circuits (PIC), and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems require components machined with sub-micron geometric tolerances and atomic-scale surface roughness.
Photonic Integration & CPO
Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) architectures require high-density arrays of micro-grooved substrates, capillary alignment sleeves, and fiber end caps. Micro optical components bridge the interface between silicon photonic dies and external single-mode fibers with insertion losses under 0.15 dB.
- Pitch accuracy held to ±0.5 μm across multi-channel arrays
- Thermal expansion matched to silicon photonics substrates
Solid-State & Ultrafast Laser Pumps
High-average-power diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) systems rely on samarium-doped flow tubes and diffuse PTFE/ceramic reflectors. These components filter 1064 nm parasitic laser oscillations while maximizing 808 nm pump absorption efficiency in harsh thermal environments.
- Spectralon-grade diffuse reflectance >99.2% at pump bands
- Sm3+ selective attenuation prevents Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE)
Semiconductor Lithography & Etch
Sub-5nm semiconductor wafer manufacturing depends on ultra-high purity synthetic fused silica (JGS1) and fluorine-doped capillaries. These components resist excimer laser degradation at 193 nm (ArF) and 248 nm (KrF), preventing radiation-induced compaction.
- Internal transmission >99.8%/cm at DUV wavelengths
- Metallic impurity concentrations strictly monitored <1.0 ppm

Ultrasonic CNC Micro-Machining
Hard, brittle materials like monocrystalline sapphire, CVD diamond, and dense laser ceramics require non-thermal ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding. This eliminates subsurface micro-fracturing and prevents edge chipping on micro-features smaller than 200 μm.
Oxyhydrogen Flame Micro-Welding
Precision optical flow cells, semiconductor diffusion boats, and triple-bore laser cavity flow tubes undergo automated oxyhydrogen flame hot-working. Annealed in multi-zone computer-controlled lehrs to relieve residual stresses, delivering birefringence under 5 nm/cm.

View Product SpecsTechnical & Procurement FAQ for Optical Engineers
Detailed responses to critical engineering inquiries regarding dimensional limits, material selection, fabrication tolerances, and cleanroom handling.
What is the absolute minimum wall thickness and inner diameter achievable on redrawn quartz capillaries?
We achieve inner diameters down to 10 μm with dimensional tolerances of ±0.001 mm (±1.0 μm) on dedicated quartz capillary redrawing towers. Outer diameters range from 80 μm upward. For high-aspect-ratio capillary applications, wall thickness can be held to 15 μm depending on overall length, maintaining cross-sectional circularity and concentricity exceeding 99.2%.
How do you differentiate between JGS1, JGS2, and JGS3 quartz glass for custom optical parts?
JGS1 is synthetic high-purity fused silica (SiCl4 derivative) optimized for deep ultraviolet (DUV) transmission from 185 nm to 2,500 nm, virtually free of bubbles and metallic impurities. JGS2 is optical-grade fused quartz manufactured by fusing natural high-purity crystal sand, ideal for 220 nm to 2,500 nm visible/NIR applications. JGS3 is vacuum-melted infrared-grade quartz with residual hydroxyl (OH) content strictly reduced under 5 ppm, eliminating the strong 2,730 nm absorption band.
What laser damage thresholds (LIDT) can your fused silica windows and fiber end caps withstand?
Super-polished synthetic fused silica windows and QBH quartz end caps consistently demonstrate certified pulsed laser damage thresholds exceeding 15 to 20 J/cm² at 1064 nm (10 ns pulse width, 20 Hz single-shot testing). For continuous wave (CW) industrial fiber laser systems at 1070 nm, parts routinely handle power levels exceeding 12 kW without thermal lensing, verified under ISO 21254 laser damage testing.
Why is samarium-doped glass (Sm3+) critical in high-power solid-state laser cavity flow tubes?
Samarium-doped optical glass exhibits sharp, resonant spectral absorption centered at 1064 nm while offering near-total transmission at the primary diode pump bands around 808 nm. When utilized in flow tubes and laser cavity jackets, it absorbs unextracted parasitic 1064 nm light, suppressing Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) and preventing thermal runaway within the Nd:YAG or Nd:glass gain medium.
How does Spectralon-grade PTFE compare with diffuse ceramic reflectors in diode-pumped modules?
Spectralon-grade sintered PTFE delivers superior diffuse reflectance (approaching 99.2% from 400 nm to 1500 nm) via bulk volumetric scattering, optimizing pump uniformity. However, high-density glazed ceramic laser reflectors (such as those used in DEKA laser pump chambers) offer superior thermal dissipation and higher physical resistance to coolant erosion in high-repetition pulsed systems.
Which drawing and model formats do your DFM engineering teams accept for feasibility reviews?
We accept 3D native and neutral formats including STEP (.stp), IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t), and SolidWorks (.sldprt), paired with 2D dimensioned blueprints in PDF, DWG, or DXF formats indicating critical optical clear apertures, surface tolerances (ISO 10110 / MIL-PRF-13830B), coating bandwidths, and edge chamfers.
