Ultraviolet

UV wavelengths are defined as between visible and X-ray ranges. The Ultraviolet spectral range spreads from 10nm to 380nm, and is usually divided between near UV (200 to 380nm) and far UV (10 to 200nm).

Ultraviolet applications

UV beams are used for many applications including Biomedical, Microscopy (Fluorescence), Spectroscopy and security industries. However, ultraviolet is highly absorbed by most of the materials, letting few choices for the components substrates to be used in UV optical systems. Please find below detail of the available materials offered by SINOPTIX

Available UV compatible materials

On the below table you’ll find optical material references and characteristics for manufacturing of UV optics. They can be used to manufacture most optical components: UV lenses, UV prisms, UV windows.
