Fundamental Optics Material Properties Optical Specifications Gaussian Beam Optics Optical Crown Glass In optical crown glass, a low-index commercial-grade glass, the index of refraction, transmittance, and homogeneity are not controlled as carefully as they are in optical-grade glasses such as BK7. Optical crown is suitable for applications in which component tolerances are fairly loose and as a substrate material for mirrors. Transmittance characteristics for optical crown are shown in figure 4.3. Relevant properties of optical crown are shown in the accompanying table.

Low-Expansion Borosilicate Glass The most well-known low-expansion borosilicate glass (LEBG) is Pyrex ® made by Corning. It is well suited for applications in which high temperature, thermal shock, or resistance to chemical attack are primary considerations. On the other hand, LEBG is typically less homogeneous and contains more striae and bubbles than optical glasses such as BK7. This material is ideally suited to such tasks as mirror substrates, condenser lenses for high-power illumination systems, or windows in high-temperature environments. Because of its low cost and excellent thermal stability, it is the standard material used in test plates and optical flats. As seen in figure 4.4, transmission of LEBG extends into the ultraviolet and well into the infrared. The index of refraction in this material varies considerably from batch to batch. Typical values are shown in the accompanying table.
