Manufacturing Capabilities
From substrate preparation to pattern transfer, cutting and inspection. Follow the manufacturing route or go directly to the process your component needs.
The manufacturing behind the pattern
Glass preparation, coating and patterning take place here. Laser direct writing creates the fine features; inspection checks the finished pattern before it leaves production.
Material and pattern preparation
Establish the substrate, functional geometry, film stack and released pattern data.
Precision Glass & Substrate Preparation
Process glass, fused silica and selected hard substrates with controlled geometry, surface condition, flatness, edge treatment and cleanliness.
Sputter Coating & Thin-Film Development
Develop and manufacture micro-nano films, functional coatings and multilayer stacks with controlled thickness, uniformity and defect density.
Pattern Design & Data Preparation
Translate your artwork or engineering drawing into a controlled photolithography pattern.
Pattern transfer and cutting
Choose an exposure route, then define the finished contour and apertures.
Photolithography
Build fine optical patterns on glass for masks, discs, scales, reticles and custom components.
Laser Direct Writing
Heidelberg Instruments laser direct writing for fine chrome patterns, large-area photomasks and aligned mask layers.
Precision UV Laser Cutting
Cut and trim glass, optical filters and thin patterned components with narrow kerfs, low heat input and repeatable programmed geometry.
Inspection and production delivery
Evaluate the pattern, control repeat orders and define the acceptance record.
Inspection, Metrology & Chromium Repair
Locate pattern defects, verify geometry and optical contrast, and evaluate localized opaque-defect or clear-defect repair.
OEM Patterned Glass Production
Connect drawings, sample approval and repeat production in one controlled project brief.
Acceptance & Delivery Records
Measurement criteria, defect disposition, traceability and agreed delivery documents.
Planning your project
TL OPTIK connects glass preparation, coating, artwork preparation, photolithography, cutting and inspection. Order the process stage you need or a finished patterned component made to an approved drawing.
