  • Optical Bonding Materials
    Because most types of glass have a refractive index of 1.5, most adhesives used for optical bonding have a similar refractive index. Depending on the application, silicone, epoxy, acrylated urethane or PSA may offer the optimized mechanical and thermal properties. Silicones are commonly used
  • Optical Substrate Material Selection Guide
    The selection of optical substrate material is a vital step to determine the best appropriate optics for your individual applications. The characteristics(optical transmission, refractive index, hardness, etc.) of representative optical materials such as N-BK7, UV Fused Silica, Zerodur Glass
  • Infrared Glass Material Technology
    The main difference between infrared optical systems and visible optical systems is that only a limited number of materials can be effectively applied to the mid-wave infrared and long-wave infrared bands, and even fewer materials can be applied to both bands.Table 2-1 lists several commonly used
  • What are thin-film optical filters?
    Thin-film optical filters are made by depositing alternating thin layers of materials with special optical properties onto a substrate, such as optical-grade glass.
  • Optical Characteristics of Transparent and Opaque Materials - Influence of the Particle Size
    The ability of matter, to transmit light waves, is specified as transparency. If "something positioned behind something" can be relatively clearly recognizable, normally the material is considered transparent or lucent like in the case of window glass. This is the case for most gaseous, as well
  • What is Silicone Optical Adhesive Sealant Used For?
    Due to the extreme transparency of silicone optical glue, light can travel through it without much loss or distortion. It is designed to have a refractive index that closely resembles that of optical materials like glass in order to maximize light transmission while minimizing reflection
  • Low-birefringence Lens Design for Polarization Sensitive Optical Systems
    these lenses, special consideration is required in choosing glass materials, coatings, and optomechanical design for low intrinsic and stress-induced birefringence and thermal stability.
  • Best Top 10 High Refractive Index Optical Adhesive Manufacturers In the USA
    Conventional optical adhesives usually have a refractive index of around 1.5. This causes issues with refection loss in cases where the refractive index of crystal materials and glass were higher than the adhesive. Top companies are working hard to handle this issue using the latest technology
