Material:
Sinoceramics has the capability to fabricate optical components with various optical materials. Some of the most important material properties to consider for optical elements are:
- Transmission versus wavelength
- Index of refraction
- Thermal characteristics
- Mechanical and chemical characteristics
- Cost
There are two instances in which you might need to know more about optical materials. First, you may need to determine the performance of a catalog component in a particular application. Second, you may need specific information when selecting the material for a custom component. The data below is intended to assist in these situations. It is very important to select the best material for your optical component(s).
