Natsume Optical Corporation
Natsume Optical Corporation, founded in 1947, is an optical device manufacturer specializing in various kinds and high precision optical products with more than 60 years’ experience and developed technology.
Using our considerable expertise, Natsume supplies the core optical components of manufacturing devices such as the illumination system of Semiconductor Lithography System, LCD Exposure System, and Laser Annealing System. In recent years, we have advanced into telecommunication industry, medical equipment industry, and laser industry. We process glasses and crystals into a variety of shapes for optics. To meet each customer’s diversified requirements, Natsume also has capabilities of optical design, lens manufacturing and assembly.
Our developing technologies were accelerated by founding Technology Centre in 2005. Natsume keeps challenging from “nm” to “Å” in the precise range and also from “Simple Plano” to “Complete Freeform” of surface shape as optical devices are becoming even more ultra precise and diverse. Meanwhile, we have been trying to switch surface roughness from Macro-region (MSFR) to Micro-region (HSFR) for smoothing.
About Mf-Lens
The Mf-Lens stands for “Multi-Form, Multi-Function and Multi-Field” and embodies both the dreams and the confidence we harbor towards the field of optical applications. The letter “M” suggests our capacity for diversification while the letter “f” indicates the unique “forms” we create based on our extensive design philosophy, their “function”, and the “fields” to which we contribute. We also take it to symbolize our strong commitment to the “future” and “fortune” of mankind.
