Fused Silica Domes

Fused Silica Optical Dome
UV Fused Silica Domes is a good choice in the Solar Instruments. It including
ultraviolet fused silica and infrared fused silica.
For the silica, it has a good transmittance from 180nm to2650nm, then it is
good choice the protected UV Radiometers.
For the IR silica, it has broadband transmission from 200nm to 3600nm, it can
keep the pyranometer has a wider spectral range, improved directional response,
and reduced thermal offsets.
And Fused Silica mechanical properties it better than N-BK7, Borosilicate. Some
of high quality deep-sea housings is made fused silica dome, it have wide-angle
and can be protective the deep-sea camera.
Optical dome are lenses with two concentric spherical surfaces. Sometimes they
are being referred to as bent plan parallel plates. Consequently it is
customary to define parallelism between two surfaces as the maximum thickness
variation between the two surfaces.
