Calcite
read moreCalcite is a negative uniaxial crystal with high birefringence. It is usually mined and cuts and polishes well. It is a negative uniaxial crystals and is usually used for visible and near IR polarizers. Calcite offers a wide range of spectral transmission making it prefect for precision optics. Calcite is perfect for manufacture of polarizers used in visible-IR range. These include Glan-Taylor polarizers, Glan-Thompson polarizers and Glan laser polarizers. Calcite plates/blocks are now routinely used for time delay compensation between two orthogonally polarized ultrafast pulses.
Quartz
read moreQuartz has a high optical transparency for a wide range of wavelengths such as UV and infrared. It has a greater optical transparency in shorter wavelength. Quartz also has a high level of purity making it an excellent material for semiconductor processing and liquid crystal manufacturing. It has excellent heat resistance properties, and also excellent thermal shock resistance from low-thermal expansion. It is highly stable as chemical and has excellent chemical resistance. Quartz offers outstanding electrical properties and a crystal clear appearance.
Gallium Arsenide
read moreUsed for lenses and beam splitters and provides an alternative to ZnSe in medium to high power CW CO2 laser systems. Gallium Arsenide is most useful in applications where toughness and durability are important. Its hardness and strength make it a good choice where dust or abrasive particles tend to build up on or bombard the optical surfaces. The material is non-hydroscopic, safe to use in laboratory and field conditions and is chemically stable except when in contact with strong acids.
