Optical Materials
Our optical components are manufactured from widely used optical materials: Fused Silica, UV grade Fused Silica and borosilicate crown glass (BK7). EKSMA OPTICS optical materials such as UV grade fused silica and borosilicate crown glass (BK7) conform the requirements for Shott Glass SUPRASIL and BK7 respectively. Only the high grade optical materials are used for manufacturing of the components, which are listed in our catalogue.
V grade fused silica (UV FS) and borosilicate crown glass are the optical materials used in the majority of EKSMA OPTICS optical components. UV grade FS and borosilicate crown glass conform the requirements for Shott Glass SUPRASIL and BK7 respectively. EKSMA OPTICS occasionally uses corresponding glasses made by different glass manufacturers, but only when it does not result in a significant change of optical properties.
