HOME PRODUCTS Quartz Blanks Custom Size Corning 7979 IR Grade Quartz
Custom Size Corning 7979 IR Grade Quartz Blanks
Corning 7979 is high purity non-crystalline silica glass with excellent optical qualities produced by Corning Company. The material is with extraordinary low refractive index variations leading to state-of-the-art homogeneity values, lowest birefringence values, large size capabilities, exceptional transmittance from the deep ultraviolet through the infrared region, and an ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient.
