Fused Silica(UVFS) Meniscus Lenses

Fused silica is the amorphous (glassy) state of silicon oxide (quartz, silica). It is a typical glass with a long-range disordered atomic structure. It provides its high service temperature and low coefficient of thermal expansion by cross-linking its three-dimensional structure

Fused silica meniscus lens is convex on one side and concave on the other. It can be a converging lens or a diverging lens, determined by a combination of refractive index, curvature and radius,and it’s been widely applied for optical instruments, laser processing, military applications, such as telescopes, microscopes, scopes, laser cutting, laser marking etc.

Our Company can provide fused silica meniscus Lenses with diameters from 2-300mm and thicknesses from 0.12-60mm (accuracy up to 20-10, 1/10L@633nm),coating AR, BBAR, AF or upon request.

Material properties of fused silica

Transmission curve

Fused silica is commonly used in applications ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR), and its high transmittance, good heat resistance, and excellent environmental durability make it suitable for use in laser equipment, emission and detection protection equipment, and imaging systems in the ultraviolet spectrum.
