Optical Material

 BRD Optical offers precision optical materials for making optical components

 

Fused silica glass has a high transmittance from ultraviolet to near-infrared (185nm-00nm), and has a high transmittance in the deep ultraviolet region, making it widely used in ultraviolet lasers. In addition, compared with ordinary optical glass, fused quartz glass has better uniformity and lower thermal expansion coefficient, making it particularly suitable for applications in the ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelength range, high-power lasers and imaging fields. BRD Optical can provide the best fused silica, if you want to know the fused silica price, please feel free to contact us.

 

Fused Silica Descriptions

As a major optical product material, the main characteristics of fused silica are:

 

High purity and corrosion resistance

 

High softening temperature, strong heat resistance

 

Low thermal expansion coefficient, thermal shock resistance

 

From the ultraviolet band to the infrared band have good light transmission performance

 

Strong radiation resistance
