Precision Germanium Cutting Solution: Overcoming Chipping and R-Corner Challenges
Introduction In the demanding world of infrared (IR) optics, cutting germanium—a brittle semiconductor material prized for its high refractive index and IR transparency—presents significant challenges, including edge chipping and achieving precise rounded (R) corners. This case study highlights a customer’s requirement to cut a complex shape from germanium for AR (Augmented Reality) lens applications, as […]
