Fused Silica is available in UV and IR grades for different applications:

1. KU-1 - Ultraviolet grade (UV) Fused Silica (SiO2)

KU-1 - UV Fused Silica has high transparency within ultraviolet and visible regions. It has no absorption bands within 170-250 nm wavelength interval. It has an intensive OH-absorption band at 2600-2800nm wavelength range. This grade does not express fluorescence as a result of UV excitation, and is characterized by optical-radiation stability. It is practically free from bubbles and inclusions.
The nearest analogues of quartz glass KU-1 are:
Suprasil Standard (Heraeus), Spectrosil A and B (Saint-Gobain), Corning 7940 (Corning), Dynasil 1100 and 4100 (Dynasil).
KU-1 Fused Silica Windows are in UV grade material and usable down to 170nm.
Maximum dimensions: Dia 300x100mm. Contact us for further information.

Fused Silica transmission. Window thickness 10mm

KU-1 Fused Silica Transmission (10 mm thickness, reflective losses included)

2. KI - Infrared grade Fused Silica (low OH, water free)

KI - IR Fused Silica features high transparency within visible and infrared regions. It has no OH-absorption bands within 2600-2800 nm wavelength interval. Extremely low bubble and inclusion content (0.3 defects/100cm3 of defects larger than 200 microns), low-OH (<50ppm OH), low cost.
Infrared fused silica windows with low "OH" content can be used for applications requiring IR transmission to about 2900-3500nm. IR Fused Silica windows and mirrors by Alkor works in European gas analyzers and gas detectors.
Maximum dimensions: Dia400x250mm. Contact us for furhter information.

IR grade Fused Silica transmission

KI IR Fused Silica Transmission (10 mm thickness, reflective losses included)

Fused Silica is used for windows, lenses and prisms in the transmission range 0.16-3.5mkm. Fused Silica refractive index varies from 1.55 to 1.40 through the transmission range. It is resistant to scratching and thermal shock. AR and Reflective Coatings are available for Fused Silica optics.
