Commercial development of Tuning Fork Crystal for Automotive Application by Epson Toyocom
Epson Toyocom Corporation has made an announcement today on commercial development of FC-13A which is a tuning-fork crystal featuring operating capability at temperature of around 125 degrees Celsius targeted at automotive applications. The output frequency of FC-13A is 32.768 kHz and it only measures 3.2 x 1.5 mm with a maximum thickness of 0.9 mm with operating temperature range of -40 to 125 degrees Celsius. The unit is considered as the core component in sub-clocks and time management function. Read more
Development of Industry’s First Wavelength Selective Crystal 1/2 Wave Plate by KYOCERA
Kyocera Corporation made an announcement earlier this month on development of industry’s first wavelength-selective crystal 1.2 wave plate enabling the multi-use and simultaneous use of three wavelengths. The newly developed 1/2 wave plate is the core component in laser equipment ensuring the required accurate processing through adjustment of irradiation power as well as process flexibility by adjusting the irradiation angle all through rotation of the laser polarization plane to achieve optimal micro fabrication suiting the pieces to be processed.
