Spectrosil® - UV FUSED SILICA – SPECTROSIL

Spectrosil® is a synthetic fused silica manufactured using a patented, environmentally friendly process that results in a virtually Chlorine-free material of exceptional purity which is bubble-free and fluorescence-free.

Due to this ultra-high purity, the Spectrosil® 2000 series has excellent optical transmission in the deep UV with a useful range from 180 nm in the deep UV through to 2000 nm in the infrared and is available in a variety of grades for use in a wide range of optical and fibre optic applications.

Transmission

Typical transmission of Spectrosil® 2000 series fused silica(including Fresnel reflection losses for 10 mm pathlength).

• Spectrosil® 1000 grade for non-transmissive mirrors and substrates, and other high purity components which do not require specified optical transmission.
• Spectrosil® 2000 deep UV, fluorescence free grade.
• Spectrosil® 2100 with improved refractive index homogeneity.
• Spectrosil® 2200 Excimer laser grade specially developed for maximum transmission and prolonged life in microlithography and other critical deep UV applications using KrF (248 nm) and ArF (193 nm) excimer lasers.

KRS-5 / CaF2 / ZnSe also available in a range of sizes
