Fused Silica Holographic Diffusers

Fused Silica Holographic Diffusers are used to control the diffuse area of illumination and increase transmission efficiency to greater than 90% from filament lamps, LEDs, arc lamps, and other sources. These Fused Silica Holographic Diffusers use a fused silica substrate enabling their use at higher operating temperature than polycarbonate holographic diffusers and offer controlled, homogenous light distribution. It is important to note that diffusing angles are given for a collimated input beam and angular divergence will vary for different incidence angles.

Unlike many holographic elements, these specific fused silica components transmit light in the UV, visible, and near-infrared. Zero order, or a specular component, of transmitted light is less than 1% for visible wavelengths, but may be higher if these diffusers are used at wavelengths outside the range of 400 - 700nm.

Note: Matte surface should face the light source. To clean holographic diffusers, dampen a lint free cloth wipe with methanol and gently wipe the entire diffuser surface in a gentle, circular pattern. Immediately and carefully blow off the clean diffuser area with dry compressed air. Caution: cleaning may cause a change in the optical performance of the diffuser.
