About the Company
Optical glass refers to a quality of glass suitable for the manufacture of optical systems such as optical lenses, prisms or mirrors. Unlike window glass or crystal, whose formula is adapted to the desired aesthetic effect, optical glass contains additives designed to modify certain optical or mechanical properties of the glass: refractive index, dispersion, transmittance, thermal expansion and other parameters. Lenses produced for optical applications use a wide variety of materials, from silica and conventional borosilicates to elements such as germanium and fluorite, some of which are essential for glass transparency in areas other than the visible spectrum. Various elements can be used to form glass, including silicon, boron, phosphorus, germanium and arsenic, mostly in oxide form, but also in the form of selenides, sulfides, fluorides and more. These materials give glass its characteristic non-crystalline structure. The addition of materials such as alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals or rare earths can change the physico-chemical properties of the whole to give the glass the qualities suited to its function. Some optical glasses use up to twenty different chemical components to obtain the desired optical properties. In addition to optical and mechanical parameters, optical glasses are characterized by their purity and quality, which are essential for their use in precision instruments. Defects are quantified and classified according to international standards: bubbles, inclusions, scratches, index defects, coloring, etc.
