About Us
NATSUME OPTICAL CORPORATION (NATSUME) has been researching and developing high-precision glass optics in a wide variety of shapes and forms since our establishment in 1947 in Nagano, Japan. Our employees are passionate about the challenges we face, with our high level of made-in-Japan technology and diligent temperament to persistently engage in research and development. Particularly in the field of semiconductors, which we have been involved in since the 1980s, we have been improving our technology daily with our natural spirit of challenge and tenacity, building the foundation of the most globally advanced LIGHT technology.

Technology
For 75 years or more, NATSUME has never given up on developing optics that did not exist in the world. As a result of our pursuit of necessary technologies, we have successfully developed processes and machines that were previously considered difficult to realize.
Our strength lies in our ability to combine surface smoothing, waviness removal, minimal shape error, and other requirements.
We have also developed measurement technologies in-house that had not existed in the world in order to meet the precise needs of our customers, who require nano-level accuracy assurance.
Optics
Our high-precision optics are employed in various fields where LIGHT is used.
We support our customers around the world with a wide variety of optical elements in the fields of semiconductors, advanced science, and X-ray analysis, which require single nanometer precision assurance.
Even in unknown fields, we will lead our customers' challenges to breakthroughs with our wealth of knowledge and experience in the pursuit of the possibilities of LIGHT, our “never giving up” mindset, and our creative imagination.
