Fused Silica / Fused Quartz
Fused silica is a high-purity, non-crystalline material manufactured through oxidation of raw silica in a flame hydrolysis process, while fused quartz is fabricated by the melting of naturally occurring quartz. Each process yields specific characteristics optimized for use within a given range of the UV, Visible and Near-Infrared portions of the spectrum. While either material may be suitable for use in a given application, the below categories offer additional information on their specific benefits. Esco is pleased to provide links to the manufacturer’s material data sheets for further information.
Ultraviolet (UV) Fused Silica
Optimum Transmission Range: | Ideal Applications: |
180 nm - 2.0 µm | Deep UV transmission elements |
Minimum scattering systems |
UV fused silica provides excellent transmission into the deep UV. Its outstanding homogeneity, lack of fluorescence and resistance to thermal shock makes it ideal for applications demanding superior wavefront performance when exposed to high-power lasers and challenging environmental conditions. With the removal of metallic impurities, certain grades of UV fused silica are tailored for use in 248nm and 193nm semiconductor wavelengths and demonstrate superior throughput for these applications.

Infrared (IR) Fused Silica
Optimum Transmission Range: | Ideal Applications: |
250 nm - 3.6 µm | Superior optical quality and IR transmission |
The near infrared portion of the spectrum suffers from absorption bands in the presence of OH- ions. IR grade fused silica is specifically manufactured to remove these impurities thus offering substantially higher transmission over UV grade fused silica up to 3.5 microns. This characteristic, along with resistance to thermal shock and high homogeneity, makes it a cost-effective option when compared to other IR materials for applications including NIR process control and inspection for machine vision, high resolution SWIR imaging, as well as, remote sensing and metrology.

Optical Grade Fused Quartz
Optimum Transmission Range: | Ideal Applications: |
270 nm - 2.5 µm | Condenser optics not concerned with scatter or distortion |
High temperature and pressure applications | |
Optical flats, microscope slides, and sight glasses |
Due to metallic impurities and OH- content, optical grade fused quartz does not boast the range of transmission offered by UV and IR grade fused silica. However, despite this shortcoming, fused quartz still offers superior thermal shock and chemical resistance, as well as, high transmission from 270nm to 2.5 microns. For applications within this range, fused quartz provides a cost-effective option to the more expensive grades of fused silica.

Flint Glass
Flint glass is combination of silicon dioxide (SiO2) with lead or potassium. It creates a relatively high refractive index and high degree of light dispersing power compared to other types of glass. Flint glasses are arbitrarily defined as having an Abbe number of 50 to 55 or less. Flint glasses have refractive indices ranging between 1.45 and 2.00.As a result, this blend of glass is characterized by its brilliance and luminosity. This property makes flint glass especially desirable in the production of lenses, optical instruments, and prisms. In modern flint glass, lead oxides are replaced with other metal oxides such as titanium dioxide and zirconium dioxide without significantly altering the optical properties of the glass.
Optical Glass
Optical glasses are available across a wide range of refractive indices and dispersions. Each optical glass is specifically designed to perform in accordance with carefully controlled optical characteristics.
While some may be easier to process than others, Esco Optics, through years of fabrication and polishing experience, is equipped and proficient in the manufacture of precision lenses, aspheres, optical windows, and optical glass prisms.
We are happy to assist our customers with a vast array of optical configurations. Below is a comprehensive list of optical glass for your reference.

Synthetic sapphire is an anisotropic crystalline material composed of single crystal aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Esco works with only high quality, optical grade sapphire. It is essentially 100% pure. The various properties of sapphire are a function of the direction within the crystal with respect to the optic axis. It has an extremely wide transmission spectrum (150 nm to 6.0 µm). Its high melting point, good thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion provide excellent performance in high temperature environments. The extreme hardness of sapphire makes it difficult to polish using standard techniques. High optical quality finishes on sapphire are not always possible.
