Description
Introducing our high OH fused silica rods, meticulously crafted from undoped glass to meet the demanding requirements of the UV/VIS range. These rods are integral in the efficient manufacturing of optical components like lenses, mirrors, and plates. The purity of the material ensures exceptional optical and physical properties, characterized by an unparalleled homogeneity in the refractive index. Our SQ rods are produced using a specialized melting technology that allows for the highest concentrations of OH and H2 to be incorporated into the material.
The result is a product with optimal transmission properties in the UV/VIS range and superior laser durability. This makes our high OH fused silica rods an ideal choice for applications requiring high precision and reliability. The absence of inclusions and bubbles, combined with excellent UV transmittance and very low fluorescence, underscores the quality of these rods. Additionally, they exhibit high laser durability, low residual stress, and a very low thermal expansion coefficient, ensuring stability under varying thermal conditions.
Our rods are available in various forms, catering to different needs. The SQ version is known for its high OH content, making it suitable for applications in the UV/VIS range. For those requiring low OH content, our j-plasil rods offer high-performance fused silica for the VIS, NIR, and IR ranges. These are produced using a plasma-based deposition technique, optimizing them for IR applications. Whether for the design and production of preforms or the manufacturing of high-power optical fibers, our fused silica rods provide the foundation for superior optical solutions.
