Various Wafers / Windows with Coatings

Features

  • We provide high quality quartz crystal wafers cut with high precision at arbitrary angles.
  • We can also provide substrates using "N-Grade EX," an ultra high purity quartz crystal grown with technology developed over many years at NDK.
    Those substrates exhibit excellent resistance to laser and in radiation environments.
  • In addition to quartz crystal substrates, we can provide various optical crystals, optical glass, and absorbing glass.
  • AR coatings can be customized according to the wavelength band of use and your desired reflectance characteristics.
