Standard Quality Substrates
The precision optics facility of
LAYERTEC produces plane and spherically curved mirror substrates, lenses and prisms of fused silica, optical glasses like BK7 and SF10 and some crystalline materials, e.g. calcium fluoride. In the following you can find information on the specifications of our standard substrates. Please do not hesitate to contact us also for other sizes, shapes, radii and materials or for special components like prisms, etalons or meniscus lenses.
