Description

Single Synthetic Crystal Quartz Maximal available dimensions of quartz crystals: Y up to **0 mm X up to *0 mm Z up to *0 mm The available products are: - Prisms - Windows - Substrates - Lenses Single Synthetic Crystal Quartz is mined naturally, but more commonlyproduced synthetically in large long faceted crystals. It is grown byhydrothermal method in autoclaves. It has trigonal crystal structurewith right-hand or left-hand modification. Quartz is anisotropicmonoaxial crystal. It has low stress birefringence and highestrefractive index homogeneity. The optical transmission range of crystalquartz is 0.***4 microns. Quartz corresponds to the best naturalmaterial by its physical properties. It contains neither electrical nooptical twins and there are no cracks and chippings. Crystals ofsynthetic quartz show high transmittance over a large spectral rangefrom IR to UV. Optically, crystalline quartz isused extensively as a wave retardation medium, using the birefringentproperties for use in quarter-wave plates and in polarizes, forUV-lenses and windows.
