  3. Toughened Windows

    Toughened Windows
    We can offer Toughened Optical Windows in various materials such as BK7 ( N-BK7 ) Borosilicate ( Borofloat ) Sodalime Green Plate glass. Galvoptics standard rangee of toughened glass windows are produced by the Thermal Toughening method of subjecting annealed glass to a process of heating and rapid cooling which produces high compression in the surface. This results in the Toughened window with a mechanical strength that can be increased by as much as four to five times that of its equivalent thickness of annealed glass. We can also offer the chemical toughening process which is better suited for thinner glass. We can offer toughened windows manufactured in square, circular, rectangular shapes in materials such as BK7, Sodalime float glasses, Borosilicate and other optical glasses. We can supply small sample runs and full production quantities made to BS3463 British Standards
  4. UV Fused Silica Lens

    UV Fused Silica Lens
    Galvoptics are specialist suppliers of optical lenses and filters including our custom built UV fused silica lens. Silicon is often used for thermal imaging and other weight sensitive applications so is ideal for these types of custom made lenses.
  5. UV Fused Silica Windows

    UV Fused Silica Windows
    We are specialist suppliers of UV fused silica windows for a variety of applications and available in a range of sizes and specifications. UV grade fused silica is widely used for applications that benefit from increased transmission deeper into the UV than BK7. UV fused silica also offers a lower refractive index for a given wavelength, better homogeneity, and lower thermal expansion than BK7.
