Fused silica is a highly pure optical material consisting primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Due to its high material purity, fused silica combines very low thermal expansion with high temperature resistance, chemical resistance and excellent optical properties.
The material offers a very broad spectral transmission range, from the UV region through visible light into the infrared. This makes fused silica particularly suitable for demanding technical and optical applications where high transmittance, dimensional stability and material purity are important.
Glass thickness in millimetres. Thickness affects strength, weight and which edge finishes are available. Only certain thicknesses can be selected per product.
Rectangular or round for standard shapes. Choose custom for a bespoke outline — we will send a quotation.
Length of a rectangular pane in mm (longest side). Enter the required outside dimension; min. and max. values depend on the product.
Width of a rectangular pane in mm (shortest side). Together with length this defines the size of your glass sheet.
Outside dimension of a round disc in mm. For bespoke sizes enter the diameter; for standard sizes pick from the list.
Allowed deviation from the chosen dimension after processing (e.g. ±0.5 mm). Tighter tolerance requires more precision and may affect price.
How parallel the glass faces are. Important for optical applications, mirrors and mounting with spacers.
Visual and measurable surface quality (striae, scratch sensitivity, clarity). Higher grades suit demanding optical use.
Holes or bores in the glass. Always on request — we will assess feasibility and send a quotation.
Cut-outs or recesses in the glass. Always on request — we will review and quote accordingly.
Coating that reduces reflection and improves light transmission. Not available on every glass type; selecting this may require a quotation.
UV printing on the glass. Always on request — we will assess feasibility and send a quotation.
Fused silica is distinguished by its combination of extremely low thermal expansion and a broad optical transmission range. As a result, the material remains highly dimensionally stable under temperature changes and is suitable for optical systems where high precision is required.
In addition, fused silica offers high material purity and optical homogeneity. Depending on the selected grade, high transmission into the deep UV is possible, making it widely used for UV, laser and precision optical applications.
