Craftsman's Point: Achieving optical properties with a periodically varying refractive index. Applications: Expected applications in notable fields such as Raman spectroscopy.

We will achieve optical characteristics that have not been realized until now by periodically changing the refractive index. Conventional optical filters (optical thin films) consist of alternating layers of high refractive index films and low refractive index films, which exhibit specific optical properties. In contrast, notch filters (band-stop filters) are deposition products designed to periodically change the refractive index in the thickness direction. They are characterized by the absence of optical ripples outside the stopband. We can realize optical characteristics that have not been achievable with conventional optical thin film processing. (Do you have such challenges?) ■ Is it possible to reflect only around the wavelength of 532nm? ■ I would like the unnecessary parts to be unable to transmit optically. ■ Notch filter? Band-stop filter? Rugate filter? ■ I have heard that the measurement difficulty after deposition is high; can you accommodate this?

It is an optical filter that selectively transmits ultraviolet wavelengths (255 nm) while blocking light of other wavelengths (using a substrate from Hisashi Seiko Glass).

Applications in the ultraviolet region are on the rise. At Isuzu Seiko Glass Co., we have developed filter glass substrates (IHU series) that have a transmission limit wavelength in the ultraviolet range and improved weather resistance to ultraviolet light. Recently, we have successfully deposited dielectric multilayer films to create bandpass filters in the ultraviolet range, as shown in the chart (measured data). (Are you facing these challenges?) ■ I want to selectively transmit specific wavelengths using aspherical lenses or lens arrays. ■ Is it possible to achieve pinpoint transmission at the UV-C wavelength of 254 nm? ■ Is it possible to achieve anti-reflection with limited substrates and deposition materials? ■ I've heard that measurement difficulty after deposition is high; can you handle that? ■ Is it true that controlling the thickness in the UV region is very difficult due to its thin film? Based on our achievements in visible light, we can achieve high transmission rates in the ultraviolet wavelength range by controlling the deposition process. Additionally, by leveraging our ability to mold aspherical lenses and lens arrays in combination with our deposition technology, we can propose new applications.

It is an optical filter that selectively transmits light below a specific wavelength and blocks light of longer wavelengths.

A short-pass filter selectively transmits light below a specific wavelength (800nm) and blocks light of longer wavelengths. This allows for effective handling of light in a specific wavelength range. (Do you have any of the following concerns?) ■ Is it possible to customize due to high wavelength dependence? ■ Does performance decrease when light is incident at an angle, and can it be controlled? ■ There may be a decrease in transmittance when blocking specific wavelengths. ■ Can it cause chromatic aberration? ■ Is it difficult to control multiple wavelengths simultaneously?

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

We have introduced Majesta Fragrance to a nightclub in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, creating a fragrant atmosphere throughout the floor. The model we have introduced is the "MF-02S," which costs 8,800 yen per month (tax included). The scent you have chosen this time is "Sabon," a high-quality soap fragrance reminiscent of luxury hotel amenities. Its clean and transparent refreshing scent spreads throughout the entire floor, warmly welcoming customers who visit. By introducing scent design to the nightclub, we can enhance the extraordinary experience and create a memorable space that lingers not only visually but also through "scent." Majesta Fragrance offers a rental service for commercial aroma diffusers, and we also provide a free trial installation. If you are interested in scent design, please feel free to contact us.

In the July 8, 2026 issue of Air Conditioning Times, we featured "Flex Chamber" and "SS Premier" in a duct special.

SS Premier has won an award at the 24th Environmental and Equipment Design Awards. This award is organized by the General Incorporated Association of Architectural Equipment Comprehensive Association and recognizes outstanding efforts in environmental and equipment design. We will continue to strive for further improvements in quality and technology.
