Product Details

  • Even, Diffuse Surface
  • Ideal for Applications Utilizing UV Wavelengths
  • Low Scatter Loss
  • Float Glass Substrates Also Available

UV Fused Silica Ground Glass Diffusers are comprised of high tolerance, quality ground glass, making them ideal for a variety of industrial applications. A 220-grit sandblast is used to create a diffuse surface on the UV fused silica substrate of these optical diffusers. Undergoing two orthogonal passes during this sandblast process yields an even diffusion across the surface. The scattering is a compromise of low scatter loss and medium diffusion. UV Fused Silica Ground Glass Diffusers are typically applied for use in screens, illuminator diffusion, and targets.

UV vs. IR Grade Fused Silica

UV grade fused silica is ideal for UV and visible applications, but IR grade fused silica has better transmission in the IR due to a lack of OH- impurities.
