Message: | Fused silica is a superior optical material possesses excellent optical, chemical and physical properties what is formed by chemical combination of silicon and oxygen. Advantages of fused silica material include: good UV and IR transmission, stability and resistance to thermal shock over large temperature excursions, low thermal expansion, wider thermal operating range and high laser damage threshold.
