I participated in the 52nd Optical Thin Film Research Conference.

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?

It is a mirror that reflects light of a specific wavelength and transmits light of other wavelengths.

【1】Are you facing any of these issues? ◆ Is it possible to maintain a uniform reflectance for multiple wavelengths? ◆ Is it possible to address the decrease in reflectance at specific wavelengths? ◆ Is color reproducibility achievable? ◆ Is there no problem with the stability of optical performance due to temperature changes or variations in environmental conditions? ◆ Is it possible to ship the parts even if the shape is special? 【2】What is a dichroic mirror? A dichroic mirror is a mirror that reflects light of specific wavelengths while allowing other wavelengths to pass through. It consists of multiple layers, each with different optical properties. This characteristic allows for the effective separation, combination, or blocking of light at different wavelengths. 【3】Features of dichroic mirrors - Spectral separation Dichroic mirrors are used for spectral separation by selecting and reflecting or transmitting light of specific wavelengths from incident light. For example, they are used in optical devices that extract and detect light of specific wavelengths. - Light filtering They are used as filters to selectively remove light of specific wavelengths. This allows for the removal of unwanted light, permitting only the desired wavelengths of light to pass through.

ND stands for "Neutral Density," which is a filter used to adjust the light transmission rate.

【1】Are you facing any of these issues? ◆ I want to address concerns about flares and ghosts. ◆ Is it possible to adjust the transmission rate with custom settings? ◆ I am looking for a filter for adjusting laser equipment. ◆ The shape is special; can it be shipped as a part? 【2】What is an ND filter? ND stands for "Neutral Density," which is a filter used to adjust the transmission rate of light. It is used to reduce the amount of light entering through the lens. It is an essential optical component for controlling shutter speed and aperture in bright environments when taking photographs with cameras, in order to achieve the appropriate exposure. 【3】Design and customization available for your desired wavelength range At Adachi New Industry, we can design and coat (film) according to your desired wavelength range. The characteristic chart at the beginning shows a transmission rate of 50%, but we can accommodate other transmission rates as well. Please feel free to contact us. Additionally, we will design according to the characteristics of the substrate and your requirements, so please let us know your desired substrate type and wavelength range when you inquire.

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.

An interview article with Yoshinori Takada, President and CEO of bSearch Co., Ltd., has been published in the media "Vision Encyclopedia," which conveys the thoughts and backgrounds of business leaders.

On July 1, 2026 (Wednesday), talent Risa Yoshiki has been appointed as the official ambassador of b-search Co., Ltd. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Risa Yoshiki, who is active in various fields such as television and magazines, as our official ambassador (effective July 1, 2026). With this ambassador appointment, we at b-search Co., Ltd. aim to deliver the best recruitment solutions to many companies struggling with hiring activities, while also strongly promoting the joy of taking on challenges in work and the appeal of new ways of working to job seekers considering career changes or employment. ■ Background of the official ambassador appointment In today's world, where the declining labor force due to low birth rates and an aging population is advancing, "acquiring and retaining talent" has become an extremely important management issue that affects corporate growth. What is required in future recruitment activities is not the traditional method of "simply posting job advertisements and waiting for applications." What is urgently needed now is "proactive recruitment," which involves partnering with companies as their "best No. 2" to consistently promote everything from the planning of recruitment strategies to the establishment of systems that yield results.
