Problem
Advanced optical, photonic, semiconductor, and telecommunication systems require ultra‑pure quartz glass and specialty fibers with precise optical, mechanical, and radiation‑resistance properties. Traditional glass suppliers often cannot meet the stringent homogeneity, low loss, and custom geometry demands of high‑performance lasers, data‑center networks, and semiconductor lithography.
Solution
Heraeus Covantics supplies high‑purity fused silica and custom‑manufactured quartz glass for a wide range of demanding applications. The company offers a portfolio of branded glass grades (e.g., Suprasil, Infrasil, Pandia, Supuria) optimized for UV, visible, IR, and high‑power laser use. It also produces specialty optical fibers, including bend‑insensitive multicore and hollow‑core fibers for next‑generation telecom and AI‑driven data traffic. Design and technical support, cladding services, and full‑process control enable customers to specify dimensions, optical homogeneity, and surface treatments, ensuring reliable performance in medical lasers, semiconductor lithography, aerospace optics, and high‑capacity networks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of high‑performance lasers, semiconductor lithography equipment, and telecom network infrastructure providers that require precision quartz glass and specialty fibers.
