UV-MIR transparent glass

We offer different types of UV-MIR (ultraviolet to mid-infrared) transparent glass materials that include high purity oxide, fluoride and chalcogenide and silver halide glasses.

UV-MIR (ultraviolet to mid-infrared) transparent glass are the glass that allows light in this range to pass through it without being absorbed or scattered significantly. Compare to crystalline materials glass offers uniformity of the properties despite of light propagation direction having a significant advantage in production cost. These glasses are used for:

• Scientific instruments: UV-MIR transparent glass is used in scientific instruments such as spectrometers, telescopes, and microscopes. It enables accurate measurements of light in a wide range of wavelengths, allowing researchers to study materials and biological samples.
• Industrial processes: UV-MIR transparent glass is used in industrial processes such as UV curing, lithography, and laser processing. It is an important material for the production of semiconductors and microelectronics.
• Medical equipment: UV-MIR transparent glass is used in medical equipment such as endoscopes and fiber optic probes. It allows doctors to see inside the body and perform minimally invasive surgeries.
• Aerospace: UV-MIR transparent glass is used in aerospace applications such as windows for spacecraft, satellites, and aircraft. It provides excellent thermal and mechanical properties and can withstand extreme temperatures and pressures.
• Telecommunications: UV-MIR transparent glass is used in fiber optics for telecommunication networks. It allows for the transmission of signals in the UV-MIR range and provides high bandwidth and low signal loss.
• Defense: UV-MIR transparent glass is used in defense applications such as night vision systems and missile guidance systems. It allows for the detection of infrared radiation and provides high-quality images in low-light conditions.
• Laser technology: Glass windows are used in high-power laser systems, where they can withstand high temperatures and intense light without degrading. As well as active media for laser pulses generation.

Clear, UV-MIR transparent glass has numerous applications in science, industry, medicine, aerospace, telecommunications, and defense, and continues to play an important role in technological advancements.

As specialist in optical materials Interstellar Glass, LLC offers custom UV-MIR glass solutions that includes oxide, fluoride and chalcogenide based systems.

Our oxide glass solutions is based on UV-MIR transparent BGG glass [??] and characterises with high purity and transparensy, low -OH level (<1ppm) and mechanical properties similar to fused silica.

Fluoride, chalcogenide and silver halide glass made by our company are characterised with high stability, broad low loss transmission, and can be doped with various active lanthanides to satisfy our customers needs.

All our glasses can be customised to satisfy your need and supplied in both bulk or fiber. Fill the contact form and let us lead your project to a new height.
