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.

The most important properties of ZERODUR® are: Nearly zero thermal expansion with outstanding 3D homogeneityHigh internal qualityGood processing behaviorCan be polished to a very high accuracyCan be coated easilyLow Helium permeabilityNon-porousGood ...

Blue-violet tinted filter glasses with variously specified UV transmittance and high with absorption in the visible and infrared range, as well as clear filters with graded UV transmittances. All filter glasses feature treated edges and are thermally toughened. UVILEX® 390 Z blocks ultraviolet radiation from artificial light sources. ...

Fine annealed optical glass with up to five non-machined, as-cast surfaces. Cut blanks: with standard or with increased optical and internal properties and dimensional tolerance requirements. Optical glass is subjected to stringent quality inspection before delivery. All stages of the optical glass production are continuously ...

EOT Silicon.

EOT Sapphire.

IR Fused Silica.

Sapphire crystal is use for optical window lenses and Nitride Based Devices (Blue LEDs) . It has the following outing properties: outstanding physical-chemical properties, extraordinary mechanical resistance, high hardness, high optical resistance, resistance against high temperatures, high thermal conductivity, low electric ...

Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) is a relatively soft material that scratches easily and it is not recommended in harsh environments because its Knoop Hardness is only 120. When handling, apply uniform pressure and wear Latex finger cots or gloves to prevent contamination.

 Lithium Fluoride crystal is the common optical material with minimum refractive, and its spectral range is 120nm-7000nm. Usually, it is processed to prisms,lenses and windows used for thermal Imaging System, Space optical system and excimer laser system. However, Lithium Fluoride crystal is with high aqueous solubility and ...
