Optical Quality Cultured Crystal Quartz has high transmission in ultraviolet(UV), visible and infrared(IR) spectrum from 190 to 2900 nm.
The utilization of Crystal quartz is conventional in fabrication of finished optics such as laser beamsplitters, AO elements, polarizing and spectral optics, prisms, windows, lenses in the ultraviolet(UV) band. Crystal quartz is also widely used in opto-electronics, precision engineering instruments and optical components. Crystal Quartz also has uses involving normally polarized laser beams, Brewster windows, birefringent filters.
Crystal quartz features birefringence, ability to rotate plane polarized light, high damage threshold and resistance to scratching. Optical quality Crystal Quartz Substrates is virtually bubble and inclusion free.

Ball lenses are highly polished spheres made of optically transparent homogeneous materials. Carefully controlled manufacturing process produces spheres with precise diameters and unsurpassed surface quality. Ball lenses are great tools for improving signal coupling between fibers, emitters and detectors.
