hara is a
world leader in the development and manufacturing of optical glasses. We are concentrating on optical
applications and related technical fields. For example, optoelectronics. Our progress and success in the
supply of advanced optical materials is more than anything else determining the future development and
direction of the Ohara Group.
Nevertheless, glass types for special applications, in particular microlithography (i-line glasses), are still
part of our assortment.
For further hot forming of Ohara fine gobs, we have a range of glass types (L-types) which have been
specifically developed with low transformation temperatures (Tg). All L-types are free of lead and arsenic.
Ohara glasses are supplied as:
Various custom made forms may be available upon request.
Ohara has recently extended its product spectrum by adding special glasses and glass ceramics. These new
materials can be found in computers, optical telecommunication and metrology equipment:
Our development efforts are ongoing. Further details are available upon request.
