If you’ve ever worked with germanium, you already know—it’s a tricky material. Dense, brittle, and not very forgiving under stress. Whether you’re producing IR optics, wafers, or custom lenses, how you cut Ge makes or breaks the result. That’s why diamond wire cutting has become the preferred method for processing germanium. Not just because it’s
Germanium (Ge) is a high-value material widely used in infrared (IR) optics, night vision systems, thermal imaging, and scientific instruments. While germanium’s excellent infrared transmission and mechanical properties make it ideal for lenses, its crystalline brittleness makes cutting and processing extremely challenging. This article explains how endless diamond wire saws enable precision cutting of germanium

Germanium wafers are essential substrates for infrared detectors, thermographic sensors, and optical components. However, Ge is a brittle semiconductor crystal prone to edge chipping and surface damage during cutting. Traditional blade-based methods often result in high material loss and poor edge quality. This article explains how to use diamond wire saw technology to precisely slice
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is a key optical crystal widely used in infrared imaging systems, military optics, and precision manufacturing. While ZnS offers excellent infrared transmission and mechanical strength, it is also extremely brittle and prone to edge chipping during processing. Traditional cutting tools struggle to achieve clean, crack-free surfaces on ZnS, making advanced cutting technology
Introduction: The Fragility of Sapphire Under Pressure Sapphire wafers are prized in semiconductor, optoelectronic, and LED applications due to their superior hardness, optical transparency, and thermal stability. However, that same hardness also makes sapphire wafer cutting an inherently delicate process. When not properly controlled, cutting can introduce residual stresses that result in microcracks, edge chipping,
Introduction Glass wafer cutting is a critical process in the manufacturing of semiconductors, MEMS sensors, optical substrates, and biomedical devices. The fragile nature and thin dimensions of these wafers require precision cutting methods that minimize chipping, maximize yield, and preserve surface integrity. Two widely used cutting technologies—inner diameter (ID) saws and diamond wire saws—offer different
Introduction In the realm of optical crystal machining, achieving ultra-precise cuts with minimal material loss and no structural damage is vital. Materials like sapphire, quartz, and lithium niobate are widely used in high-performance optical systems, and they demand superior cutting techniques. Among all available methods, the diamond wire saw has emerged as the most effective
Introduction Optical lens cutting requires exceptional precision, especially as lens technology advances in fields like imaging, communications, and medical devices. A frequent challenge in this process is chipping — small fractures or flaking at the edges or surfaces of lenses. Chipping not only reduces product yield but also compromises the optical performance of the final
