DUV optical system

Optical units (Technical information) Optical units (Technical information)

Optical systems which are used for DUV wavelengths shorter than 300nm need to keep an eye on various considerations. KYOCERA SOC Corporation is able to take appropriate countermeasures based on its abundant development and manufacturing experiences for instance:
  Vitreous material selection
  Outgassing provision
  High tolerance optical system design
  Wavefront measurement with unique UV interferometer
etc.
KYOCERA SOC Corporation also has optical system design and fabrication track records for even shorter than DUV wavelength regions:
  266nm
  248nm
  213nm
  193nm
  157nm
