IR Cut Filters

q

Is it possible to purchase a single BAG filter?

a

Yes, you can purchase a single substrate or chip type filter. A standard sized substrate type filter (76 mm × 76 mm, t=0.21 mm) costs 12,000 yen (tax not included). Please contact us for a quote if you are looking for a substrate type filter of a different size or are looking for a chip type filter.

q

Is D263 the only glass substrate available for BAG filters?

a

We use D263 due to its impressive results as optical glass, such as strength and resistance to deterioration. If you are interested in other substrates, please contact us.

q

What is the benefit of making filters thinner?

a

A thinner filter brings it closer to the sensor, and can help to make the camera modules used in smartphone and other devices smaller and lighter.

q

Doesn't making a filter thinner increase its curvature?

a

Making a filter thinner does indeed increase its curvature. However, our technology keeps curvature within standards thanks to the advanced techniques we apply during our machining process.

q

Do you sell optical filters other than BAG filters and IR cut filters?

a

We also deal with optical filters other than BAG filters and IR cut filters, from the design simulation stage. Some examples include infrared cut filters and low-pass filters. Please feel free to contact us.

q

What kind of shipping and packaging the BAG filters and IR Cut filters??

a

There are vertical packing trays, tape-attached packing, etc. Please feel free to contact us.

q

What kind of substrate materials can you dice?

a

Some materials we work with include silicon, SiC (silicon carbide), ceramic, quartz, optical glass, and sapphire. We also handle a variety of dicing methods, such as grooving, bevel cutting, and chamfering. Feel free to contact us with your requirements.

q

Can we request that you purchase silicon wafers, optical glass, or other materials?

a

We can arrange substrates upon request.

q

What is the minimum order for IC writing or taping?

a

We accept orders from a single unit.

q

Which manufacturers' ICs are you able to write to?
