Company Location

Our office is located about a 5-minute walk from the nearest station, JR Gotanda Station. It is in a highly convenient location—just two stops from Shinagawa Station and three stops from Shibuya Station. Nearby, the Meguro River attracts many visitors during the cherry blossom season. For about two kilometers from near the office toward Ebisu Station, the river is lined with cherry trees, creating a tunnel of blossoms that becomes a popular and beautiful walking path.

Equipment

Before delivering products to our customers, we perform operational checks on applicable items. For laser inspection, we conduct the necessary measurements using equipment such as power meters, beam profilers, optical spectrum analyzers, autocorrelators, photodetectors, and spectrometers.
