II-VI Incorporated Quality Assurance

At II-VI, VLOC, and eV Products, quality assurance is every employee's responsibility. Our philosophy has always been to build quality into every product at every stage of design and manufacture. We implement this concept by the use of strict manufacturing procedures and controls including substantial in-process testing at every stage of production. Our test facilities include extensive dimensional and surface measurement equipment as well as spectrophotometers to measure coating performance from the UV to the IR.

As a final step in the manufacturing process, II-VI employs precision reflectivity and transmission test systems as well as laser vacuum calorimeters to precisely measure the laser absorption of our industrial CO2 laser products.

Trained technicians inspect each optic as a final cosmetic quality check before shipment. Our inspection system conforms to MIL-I-45208A, and all test and measurement equipment is calibrated to MIL-STD-45662. In addition to these tests, II-VI also has the facilities and equipment to perform environmental, durability, coating adhesion, and other important quality and performance checks on virtually any type of laser optic.

Our quality assurance personnel are highly trained in the technical aspects of their jobs. Continuous product and process improvements are pursued with production personnel on a daily basis.

Vertical Integration - The II-VI Advantage

Total responsibility for product performance is a significant consideration when specifying optical components. II-VI is uniquely positioned to offer our customers complete quality control during the entire manufacturing operation.

The II-VI advantage begins with the production of the highest quality optical materials, continues through fabrication and application of optical coatings, and progresses through the testing and assembly of the optical component. The result is a finished product which is guaranteed by II-VI to meet all customer specifications and performance requirements.
