Product classification by materials
The company’s products are classified relative to materials they are made of, namely: optical crystals, molted quartz glass, and traditional colorless glass.
Crystal Optics Product
They are optical windows, different lenses, prisms, all kinds of wedges, blanks, cones.
Materials: optical sapphire (leuco sapphire), crystalline quartz, (UV grade) KU-1, (IR grade) KI Samarium doped glass, Cerium doped glass Pyrex.
Mono-crystalline optical sapphire has unique optical, mechanical, physical, and chemical features. It is the hardest among all oxides, effectively retains its thermophysical properties at high temperatures, and demonstrates excellent transparency.
It chemically withstands numerous acids and alkalis being exposed to high temperatures up to 10000 C. The properties determine the leuco sapphire widespread use in aggressive environments when optical transparency is required in the VU and near-IR band.
Quartz Glass Optics
Sphere of use: optical windows; flat, convex, concave mirrors; all kinds of prisms, lenses, cones, wedges, blanks; optical non-fiber light guides; smartphone and watch windows; beam splitters.
Materials: KU-1 (Visual frequencies), and KI (IR waves) brands.
Glass Optics
Sphere of use: plane-parallel plates; complete & truncated prisms; lenses, cones, wedges; flat, concave, convex-type mirrors; non-fiber light guides and blanks.
Standard materials list: K8 Glass, Pyrex.
Laser Active Products
Standard materials: fused silica cerium doped glass; sapphire and quartz crystals with anti-reflection coating, and Silver copper nickel coating, for the laser cavity .
Oversized Laser Optics
Sphere of use: concave, flat mirrors; all types of optical lenses and windows. They are designed for wavelengths 1054 nm, 1064 nm.
Currently, ARD-OPTICS manufactures products from leuco sapphire, silica, and glass, namely:
• Sapphire
• Fused silica UV grade (KU-1)
• Fused silica IR grade (KI)
• K8 Glass
• YAG
• Passive Glasses Laser Cavity Materials
• Fused Silica Cerium Doped
• Doped quartz glass
• Samarium doped glass S7010, S7005, and S7000
The Quality Control and Certification
The company is certified according to the ISO 9001 standard, Certificate of Conformity, No. 31102101 QM15 Permit No. … Each production stage is under technical control. The Zygo Mark-4 interferometer is used to control the shape of products with the accuracy Lambda / 20 (delta N = 0.1).
The transmittance of optics is measured with spectral devices: spectrophotometers SF-56 (190–1100 nm range) and FT-IR Bruker Tensor 27 (the range is 2.5 – 25.0 m). In this regard, we offer the service of recording the transmission of the polished samples on our spectral devices: spectrophotometer SF-56 and FT-IR
Profiled Products
Profiled products, in particular, sapphire rods and flow tubes have got the general set of advantages: optical transparency, high melting point, high strength, and hardness. Also, they have a precisely specified shape and dimensions at the output, which allows minimizing the finishing cost.
