Let me introduce the mechanism of vapor deposition. "Vacuum deposition" is a technique in which metals, oxides, and other materials are heated and evaporated using an electron gun or similar device in a vacuum of 1.0E-3 Pa or lower, allowing the generated molecules to deposit on the substrate surface and form a thin film. Kawai Optical Co., Ltd. has been advancing unique research and development in vacuum deposition technology. To accurately respond to customer demands, all management and employees work together, sharing information to engage in the creation of high-quality products with stable safety. Our website also explains concepts such as "the mechanism of sputtering" and "the mechanism of optical films." For more details, please refer to the related links below. [Overview of Vacuum Deposition] ■ Heating and evaporating metals, oxides, etc., using an electron gun or similar device in a vacuum of 1.0E-3 Pa or lower ■ Depositing the generated molecules on the substrate surface to form a thin film *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

At Kawai Optical Co., Ltd., we can apply coatings to products of various shapes using our original manufacturing method. Unlike painting, plating, or films, we can utilize two colors: reflected light and transparent light. You can also enjoy variations depending on the color and transparency of the base product. Additionally, coated glass can be used as building materials or stained glass. The combination with lighting equipment creates various effects with reflected light and transparent light. 【Features】 ■ Coating using original manufacturing methods ■ Two colors available: reflected light and transparent light ■ Usable as building materials and stained glass ■ Can also be coated on ceramics and other materials *For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.

The "beam splitter" is a product mainly used in video equipment and various optical devices. We offer two types: a non-polarizing beam splitter that evenly divides the incident light, including polarization, with a transmittance to reflectance ratio of 1:1, and a polarizing beam splitter that separates non-polarized incident light into S-polarized (reflected) and P-polarized (transmitted) light with minimal loss. 【Features】 ■ Evenly divides the transmittance to reflectance ratio at 1:1 ■ Separates S-polarized (reflected) and P-polarized (transmitted) light with minimal loss ■ Available in prism type and plate type *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.
