Products
Photodiodes - Optical Sensors
Our photodiodes cover a broad spectral range, from near-infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths to high-energy regions. Photodiodes are available in metal, ceramic, and plastic packages, as well as module types. Custom designs are also available.
Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) - Optical Sensors
APDs are photodiodes with internal gain produced by the application of a reverse voltage. They have a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than PIN photodiodes, as well as fast time response, low dark current, and high sensitivity. Spectral response range is typically within 200 to 1150 nm.
Photo IC - Optical Sensors
The photo IC is an intelligent optical sensor with diverse functions and integrates a photodiode with signal processing IC in the same package.
Optical Blocks - Optical Components
Compact units containing optical components such as bandpass filters and dichroic mirrors. Designed specifically for low light level measurements that use PMT modules and high-sensitivity cameras. Can be combined in different configurations. A full system can be built by combining these blocks with a light source and detector. For example, a low cost fluorescence or confocal microscope can be built by combining a laser, optical blocks, and microscope objective lenses.
Fiber Optic Plates (FOP) - Optical Components
Optical devices comprised of a bundle of micron-sized optical fibers. Used as a lens to transmit light or an image with high efficiency and low distortion. Unlike a normal optical lens, no focusing distance is required. Ideal when designing and building compact optical devices.
FAC Lenses - Optical Components
FAC lenses collimate diverging light from a semiconductor laser into a narrow beam with a radiation angle of several milliradians (mrad) or less, to allow efficient use of light.
qCMOS Cameras
The world's first camera to incorporate the qCMOS image sensor. The camera achieves the ultimate in quantitative imaging.
Board-Level CMOS Cameras
While our board-level CMOS cameras use the same sensors as our CMOS cameras for research, their streamlined features deliver high speed, low noise, and high resolution at a cost-effective price.
X-Ray Line Scan Cameras
X-ray line scan cameras produce high-sensitivity, high-resolution, X-ray transmission images of moving objects transported on a conveyor belt or similar apparatus. A variety of options are available.
LEDs - Light & Radiation Sources
Our LEDs range from red to mid-infrared, a variety of wavelengths enabled by crystal growth and process technology that supports compound semiconductor materials. LEDs are mainly used in combination with photosensors, and offer a lower cost and longer service life compared to laser diodes. High quality and reliability are ensured by strictly controlled assembly and inspection processes.
Lamps - Light & Radiation Sources
Our lamps deliver high stability and long lifetimes. Light measurement technology is utilised in many applications including chemical analysis, medical diagnostic testing, environmental monitoring, and academic research fields.
Lamp Modules & Units - Light & Radiation Sources
Our lamp modules and lamp units are assembled with a matching power supply and other functions making them suitable for a wide range of user applications.
Semiconductor Lasers
Every part of our semiconductor lasers, from epitaxial growth to chip assembly to drivers, is developed in-house.
Applied Products of Semiconductor Lasers
Semiconductor laser products ideal for thermal processing applications.
Solid State Lasers
Solid state laser products developed by merging our optical design technology, optical thin film technology, MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) and optical nanoscale technology and other cutting-edge technologies.
Thickness Measurement Systems
Noncontact high precision thickness measurement systems utilizing laser interferometry and spectrum interferometry.
Pinhole Inspection Units
Our high-speed, high-accuracy optical pinhole inspection units are ideal tools to meet a growing demand for the reliable detection of hard-to-find micro pinholes.
UV-LED Light Sources
UV-LED light sources are high output and adopting proprietary air-cooling method. It is appropriate for UV printing, UV bonding, UV coating and other a lot of applications. Choosing best product is available from irradiation area, wavelength, output power and so on.
Plasma Process Monitors
This system is a monitoring system to detect wide spectrum plasma emission during the process of etching, spattering and CVD in semiconductor manufacturing.
Stealth Dicing™ Technology
Stealth Dicing technology is a laser dicing technology that uses lasers, with a completely new concept. The range of devices to which this technology applies will be expanding to include MEMS devices and memory devices and others, due to such features as the "completely dry process", "no kerf loss", "no chipping", "high bending strength" and the like.
Micro LED PL Inspection Systems
This is the quick inspection system for the quality of micro LED chips on a wafer by using photoluminescence (PL) image.
Spectrometers - Photometry Systems
Various spectrometers and modules are available for
measurement of spectra and absorbance, and Raman
spectroscopy.
measurement of spectra and absorbance, and Raman
spectroscopy.
Molecular Orientation Measurement Systems
The C14234-11 is functional for measuring fluorescence spectrum with multichannel analyzer PMA-12 and for angle dependency of p-polarized fluorescence with a newly designed optics.
Digital Slide Scanners
Digital slide scanner is a family of whole slide scanners that convert glass slides into high-resolution digital data by high-speed scanning.
Kinetic Plate Imagers
High speed, kinetic plate imager for fluorescence / luminescence assays in GPCR / ion channel drug discovery field.
