Saint-Gobain Spectrosil® 2000 Optical Fused Quartz
Categories:	Ceramic; Glass; Oxide; Silicon Oxide
Material Notes:	Spectrosil® 2000 is a deep UV, fluorescence-free grade. Spectrosil® is a synthetic fused silica manufactured using a patented, environmentally friendly process that results in a virtually chlorine-free material of exceptional purity which is bubble-free and fluorescence-free. The 2000 series has excellent optical transmission from 180 nm in the deep UV through to 2000 nm in the IR Available in ingot, rod, tube, and components. General properties of Fused Silica and Fused quartz: A very wide transmission range from UV to near IR; extremely high optical transmission, excellent resistance to high power laser energy, excellent homogeneity, high temperature resistance, very low thermal expansion (resistance to thermal shock), and chemical inertness. General uses for optical quartz are microlithography optical systems, optical fibers, photomasks, laser optics, LCD displays, light guides, optical, IR , and UV windows, spectrophotometer cells, slides, optical pyrometers, and lamp bodies/components.
