Fused Silica is the glassy form of Quartz and is thus isotropic. Fused Silica is tough and hard and has a very low expansion. Normal varieties of Fused Silica contain water which gives strong absorption in the Infra-red. Water-free varieties of Fused Silica are available.

N-BK7 is a Schott™ designation for the most common Borosilicate Crown glass used for a wide variety of visible applications. The basic data here is given for N-BK7. We recommend that full optical design data on N-BK7 and other glasses be found by referring to the relevant glass manufacturer.

Quartz is mined naturally, but more commonly produced synthetically in large, longfaceted crystals. Quartz is positive birefringent. Be careful not to confuse terminology in this material, as \"Fused Quartz\" is often used to denote the glassy non-crystalline form better known as Silica. Normal Quartz is Alpha Quartz and normally RH ...

Our CVD diamond has an extremely broad transmission spectrum, exceptional thermal conductivity, vastly increased component lifetime and can be engineered to virtually any configuration, which is why industry leading photonics engineers choose Element Six.

Materials designed for their index and dispersion properties. Typical use are in lens systems. We stock a full range of optical glasses from low to high index. Our stock is melt lot controlled to the original manufacturers melt lot number. Much of our stock has Nd/Vd specs that are tighter then the manufacturers standard tolerances.
