Increased UV transmission by improving the manufacturing processes for FS
Optical designers have long worked with ultraviolet (UV) systems, but deep UV applications require special considerations beyond traditional visible optics. As wavelengths decrease, surface smoothness becomes increasingly important for optimal performance. This four-phase project aims to enhance UV optics, starting with characterizing sub-surface damage to improve process control. The second phase, presented here, focuses on polishing methods, followed by cleaning, etching protocols, and finally improving thin film coating performance.

Semiconductor: Deep Ultraviolet (DUV)
Optimax’s Laser Grade Optics (LGO) unit produces high-precision, large-diameter optical systems for deep ultraviolet (DUV) laser applications in the semiconductor industry. These optics, with diameters up to 500 mm, are engineered for long life, handling billions of pulses with proprietary low-loss polishing and coating techniques. Operating in a cleanroom facility, the LGO team ensures coating uniformity on complex geometries, meeting the industry’s demands for extreme precision and performance. This transformation enables Optimax to solve challenging problems and deliver solutions for advanced laser applications.
