List of grades
We can supply 10 grades of products with different characteristics such as transmission, laser durability and other optical requirements.
| Type | Grade | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Synthetic quartz glass |
SUPRASIL-P248C | This is high-end quartz glass for optics that has excellent transmission at a wide range of wavelengths. It is striae-free in all directions so is optimal for high-precision optics applications. |
| SUPRASIL-P700 | The homogeneity is even more excellent than that of SUPRASIL-P248C, and the ArF excimer laser durabilities have been improved. | |
| SUPRASIL-P710C | This has excellent transmission from visible through near infrared, and is compatible with large products of φ600 or above. It is offered as striae-free in three directions or in one direction. | |
| SUPRASIL-P20 | This is striae-free in one direction, and is optimal for general optical elements, such as windows and lenses materials. | |
| SUPRASIL-P310C | This has more homogeneous than SUPRASIL-P20, and possesses transmission and laser durabilities equivalent to those of SUP-P248C. | |
| SUPRASIL－P210 | The optical characteristics correspond to those of SUPRASIL-P310C, and the ArF excimer laser durabilities have been improved. | |
| SUPRASIL－P30 | This is optimal for general optical elements regarding which high transmission is required. | |
| SUPRASIL－F300 | This has both infrared permeability on par with optical fiber and the high homogeneity of quartz glass for optics. | |
| Natural quartz glass |
INFRASIL 301/302 |
This is quartz glass for optics for visible through near infrared that has been manufactured from carefully selected crystal and contains a low amount of OH base. It is possible to choose striae-free in three directions or in one direction in accordance with the application. |
| HOQ310 | This is quartz glass for optics manufactured with electrical melting using crystal as a raw material. It is outstanding with regard to economy, and is optimal for window applications with high replacement frequencies. |
