UV fused silica window is preferred optical material for ultraviolet band especially in the deep ultraviolet range, it has excellent light transmission properties, high hardness and good theraml stability, making it highly suitable for use as optical window or substrates in ultraviolet lasers and spectrometers.
Fused silica window optical property
*widely transmission range from 0.17-2.2um, extremely high transmittance in deep ultraviolet range of 190-300nm T>90%, superior to ordinary glass such as caf2 window
*Low refractive index,with minimal surface reflection loss
*Abb number high, beneficial for reducing chromatic abberation
Physcial and Mechanical properties
*Hardness: High,harder than caf2 window, highly resistance to wear and scratches, sapphire window have extremly high hardness and resistance, suitable for use as an exposed window
*The coefficient of thermal expansion is extremely low, extremely strong resistance to thermal shock, making it suitable for high power…
