Since the beginning of April 2017, ASTROHN Technology Ltd launched plants for the production of germanium (Ge) and silicon (Si) single crystals by Czochralski method, and implemented advanced technologies for producing single-crystal germanium with increased uniformity.

A full-cycle production was organized, with the in-house waste processing. The company is developing such areas as production of germanium crystals with increased uniformity with a diameter of up to 500 mm.

The equipment and technologies of the company make it possible to produce aspherical lenses from the obtained single crystals, which are subsequently used in the manufacture of a line of IR lenses under the ASTROHN brand, thereby cheapening the cost for the end user with consistently high quality. In the manufacture of aspherics the best Optotech foreign equipment (Germany) is used.

The work of ASTROHN Technology Ltd is based on many years of scientific research, high-tech modern equipment and indispensable experience, concentrated in the hands of our specialists.

The top quality of products is confirmed by certificates of conformity of the quality management system applied at our enterprise, as well as ISO9001:2008, GOSTRV15.002-2003, GOSTRISO9001:2008, and prizes, diplomas, and awards.
