TO-Cap

Fused Lens Cap

OUTLINE

In the fused lens caps, a glass lense is directly welded to metal can. We have developed fused lens caps to replace lens caps and reduce costs. Therefore there is no need for precision-polished lenses and no need for low melting point glass. Although the coupling efficiency is inferior to that of ball lens caps, they have a better light-collecting ability than flat window caps, so they have been widely used in light-receiving element packages.

FEATURES

Excellent hermeticity / High reliability

Although they are the parts that directly join glass lenses and metal cans, they achieve high hermeticity and high reliability.
Hermeticity:under 1×10-9Pa・m 3/s
Reliability: Pass the Temperature Cycling Test (-55℃/10min⇔+125℃/10min ×2000cyc) and the Damp Heat Test (+85℃, 85% ×2000h)

Contributes to miniaturization

By the advantage of the direct sealing method that does not use sealing glass, we can provide products with a small diameter or low profile.
Ex) Mini type: Can outer diameter is φ1.96 mm, lens effective diameter is φ0.8 mm

Custom design support

We use in-house glass as the lens material, and we can design lens curvature. Also, we support custom designs of various optical coatings depending on the wavelength range used and the purpose.
