Quartz
Detailed Product Description:
Single Synthetic Optical Crystal Quartz is grown by hydrothermal method in autoclaves. It has trigonal crystal structure with right-handed or left-handed modification. Quartz crystals have low stress birefringence and high refractive index homogeneity. The optical transmission range of crystal quartz is 0.15-4 microns. Due to its piezoelectric properties, low thermal expansion, good mechanical parameters and excellent optical characteristics, cultured quartz is used in electronics, precision and laser optics, optical fibre communications, X-ray optics, and pressure sensors, ect..
  Application:  
   
 
Quartz Window  

Detailed Product Description
Single Synthetic Crystal Quartz transmits well over the UV region and is thus the choice for low cost UV window material. Its birefringence, however, should not be overlooked. It is advisable to take into consideration birefringence for windows used in image processing techniques.
Very few materials match the useful transmission range and physical properties of optical quality cultured quartz. This material is reproducible, available and affordable .

 
The quartz windows must have a diameter substantially larger than the clear aperture of the window to allow contact with a standard size O-ring. According to other supplier, quartz crystals larger than approximately 4.5diameter are very difficult to obtain.
