Wafers and substrates.

  1. 21.A

    Optical wafers

    Thin, polished discs used as the starting point for optoelectronic and semiconductor devices.

  2. 21.B

    Optical substrates

    The base of an optical component. Transparency, refractive index, surface quality and coating decide how it performs.
