Customized High-Purity Quartz Glass Plates JGS1/JGS2/JGS3 – High Transmittance for UV, IR, and Optical Applications

These high-purity quartz glass plates are precision-engineered from ultra-pure silicon dioxide (SiO₂ ≥ 99.99%) using advanced melting and rapid cooling techniques. The resulting fused silica exhibits exceptional optical clarity, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Based on purity and optical performance, these plates are classified into three grades: JGS1, JGS2, and JGS3.

Optical Grades

JGS1 – Far-Ultraviolet Optical Fused Silica

• High hydroxyl content (~2000 ppm)

• Exceptional UV transmittance, exceeding 90% at 185 nm

• Suitable for 185–2500 nm wavelength range

• Applications: DUV lithography lenses, space telescope mirrors, UV laser collimators

JGS2 – Ultraviolet Optical Fused Silica

• Manufactured from crystalline raw materials via gas refining

• Metal impurities at tens of ppm, hydroxyl content 100–200 ppm

• Transmission range 220–2500 nm

• Applications: Consumer optics such as camera lenses, projector prisms, microscope objectives

JGS3 – Infrared Optical Fused Silica

• Produced from high-purity quartz sand or crystalline materials via vacuum electrical melting

FAQ

1. What are the differences between JGS1, JGS2, and JGS3?
   JGS1 offers >90% UV transmission at 185 nm with 2000 ppm OH, JGS2 provides 220–2500 nm transmission with 100–200 ppm OH, and JGS3 delivers >85% IR transmission with near-zero OH content.

2. Which grade is suitable for UV laser applications?
   JGS1 is ideal for UV lasers due to its >90% transmittance at 185 nm and high laser damage threshold of 15 J/cm².
