WMS™-15

Glass-ceramic substrates enable the production of cutting edge DWDM thin-film filters.   

Ohara’s WMS™-15 glass-ceramic substrates will enable manufacturers to produce leading edge DWDM and thin-film filters. Our WMS™ substrates will facilitate the production of filters with extremely low thermal wavelength drift and low insertion loss values. WMS™-15 has improved internal transmittance and exceptionally low surface roughness values.
