​

  • "HT" & "HTultra" Optical glasses with enhanced transmission values in the visible spectrum

​

  • i-line glasses with extremely high refractive index homogeneity and high UV transmittance

​

  • Radiation resistant glass types for use in high-energy radiation environments

​

 

Optical Glasses are specified in accordance to their Optical and internal properties

​

  • Refractive index with tolerances

  • Abbe value with tolerances

  • Refractive index homogeneity

  • Internal transmission

Radiation Resistant Optical Glass

​

​

SCHOTT's Radiation Resistant Optical Glass is doped with Cerium which provides stability against transmission loss caused by ionizing radiation. The added Cerium gives a yellow tint, while shifting the UV transmittance edge to a longer wavelength. SCHOTT offer several types with different dispersion properties:​
