Quartz components

Quartz, or fused silica, can be machined like any other ceramic material thanks to diamond tools. Thus Microcertec can realize customized parts made of quartz with various sizes and shapes, high level of precision but without any optical required performances or surface finish. The most important properties of the quartz is its low coefficient of thermal expansion. From an optical point of view, the quartz is generally transparent to the infra-red wavelenghts.
