Precision Ceramic Machining for Laser, Optoelectronics & Telecommunications
±0.001mm tolerance | Thermal & electrical isolation | Engineered for optics, RF & photonic systems
As photonic systems grow more compact and powerful, ceramic materials have become essential in supporting thermal, mechanical, and electrical performance for lasers, fiber optics, 5G, and optical communication devices.
With over 20 years of experience in ultra-precision ceramic machining, we provide custom-engineered components that meet the stringent demands of optical alignment, dielectric performance, and structural integrity in the most advanced laser and telecom systems.
Ceramic Advantages for Photonics & Telecom
Ceramics such as Alumina (96%–99.8%), Macor®, Zirconia, and Aluminum Nitride (AlN) offer:
- Excellent electrical insulation at high frequencies and voltages
- High dimensional stability under thermal cycling
- Low dielectric loss and constant for RF components
- Low thermal expansion to match semiconductor optics
- Non-magnetic, low-outgassing properties for vacuum and photonic systems
These properties make ceramics the material of choice for high-frequency circuits, precision optical fixtures, laser components, and microwave modules.
