Rutile is attracting attention not only as a birefringent material for optics but also as a substrate for epitaxial growth.
Our TiO2 crystal has world-leading size, quality, and production volume, and it is made by integrated production system starting from Verneuil crystal growth to the surface polishing.

Nb:TiO2 substrate with electrical conductivity and STEP substrates with atomically flat surface are also available. We hope our substrates can help your research.
