Fused Silica Prism

A fused silica prism is an optical prism made of fused quartz (silicon dioxide) with the following characteristics: 1. Material Properties: Fused quartz is a high-purity, amorphous glass material with an extremely low thermal expansion coefficient, high light transmittance, and excellent chemical stability, maintaining stable performance over a wide temperature range. 2. Optical Performance: It exhibits high transmittance in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectral ranges (typically from approximately 180nm to 2.2μm), making it suitable for optical systems with high light transmission requirements, such as spectroscopy, laser technology, and optical imaging. 3. Precision and Stability: It can be manufactured through precision grinding and polishing processes, achieving surface flatness of λ/10 or higher, and angular tolerances controlled at the arcsecond level, ensuring precise and repeatable light path control. 4. Wide Application: It is commonly used in scenarios such as beam steering, image inversion, spectral dispersion, and optical measurement, serving as a fundamental component in optical systems across scientific research, industrial, and medical fields.
