  Optical Glass Specifications

  Choosing a glass material is important because different glass types have different properties.CLZ offers a variety of glass types that can be selected based on the following properties.

  The refractive index and Abbe number of the glass are commonly used as degrees of freedom by designers when designing systems. The refractive index_ is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light passing through a given material at a given wavelength, while the Abbe number of a material quantifies the amount of dispersion (exponential change) in a given spectral range. For example, higher refractive indices typically bend light more efficiently, so less curvature is needed in the lens. Lenses with higher refractive indices have less spherical aberration, and light travels faster through materials with lower refractive indices. A high Abbe number generally produces less dispersion and reduces chromatic aberration. In addition, certain glass types have different transmittance wavelength regions.

  The density of the glass helps determine the weight of the optical assembly and, along with the lens diameter, becomes critical for weight-sensitive applications. The coefficient of expansion of the glass also becomes a critical factor when dealing with applications involving extreme temperatures and rapid temperature differences. Optical designers need to keep this in mind when designing optical assemblies.

  Many glass manufacturers offer the same material properties under different trade names, and most have modified their products and processes to be environmentally friendly (lead and arsenic free).

  CLZ Precision Optics is one of China's leading optical manufacturing companies. We manufacture a wide range of optical components for many We manufacture a wide range of optical components for many different fields like Industrial Laser, Consumer products, Environmental Monitoring, Photography and Aerospace and R&D.

  Projectors and High-End Optical Systems

  Specialty glasses with very high transmittance - a quality that makes them particularly suitable for digital projectors and high-end optical systems. These products provide the high quality performance required as the demand for ultra-high definition images continues to grow and large projection systems become increasingly popular.

  Astronomy, Satellite and Laser Vision

  Optical glasses for high-power laser, satellite and astronomical applications must provide extremely high homogeneity and very narrow refractive index variations. SCHOTT's high homogeneity glasses meet this challenge head-on.

  Life Sciences

  Life science applications require special materials for high-end optical designs. SCHOTT offers a comprehensive portfolio of optical glasses for high-end life science applications, such as glasses with very low dispersion, low fluorescence or with large anomalous dispersion.

  Cameras, phones and microscopes

  From smartphones to digital cameras and more, there is a growing demand for small, powerful and custom-shaped lenses. CLZ Precision Optics is ideally suited to design complex aspherical lenses.
