Excellent Physical & Optical Properties
Fused Silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide that can be made to have outstanding optical and physical characteristics:
  • excellent homogeneity
  • bubble & inclusion free
  • very low stress birefringence
  • good for transmission from the deep UV to the near IR
  • good optical properties in three directions
  • thermally stable with a low coefficient of linear expansion
  • high working temperature
  • Knoop hardness 200gm load 500kg/mm2
SYNTHETIC FUSED SILICA
Used in a Wide Range of Applications & Configurations
Fused Silica can be polished using standard optical fabrication techniques and is an optical material of choice for:
  • standard optical components
  • large laser systems for fusion
  • spacecraft windows, view port windows, pressure windows
  • test flats, transmission flats
  • light pipes
  • prisms
  • telescope mirrors
