Core Pain Points We Solve

  • Conventional optical glass prone to fracture under deep-sea hydrostatic pressure
  • Common optical substrates suffer saltwater corrosion and surface fogging during long-term marine deployment
  • Standard optical coatings degrade rapidly under continuous seawater immersion and salt-fog exposure
  • Challenges to fabricate custom profiles and precision sealing edges for underwater camera housings
  • Poor-quality optics introduce distortion and reduce imaging clarity for subsea inspection systems

Product Key Advantages

  • ✅ Single crystal sapphire substrate, outstanding mechanical strength for deep ocean subsea robotics
  • ✅ Chemically inert against seawater, excellent anti-corrosion performance for long marine service life
  • ✅ Custom broadband AR coating available, boosting transmittance and suppressing surface reflection
  • ✅ Precision CNC forming, chamfering and edge machining to match sealing assembly requirements
  • ✅ Consistent optical performance across broad operating temperature ranges
  • ✅ Prototyping sampling and volume OEM manufacturing supported by Felix Glass
