Quartz glass rods, with its high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and excellent chemical stability, plays a pivotal role in the field of optics. As a special industrial technology glass composed of a single component of silica, quartz glass rods not only have a series of excellent properties unmatched by ordinary glass, but also is an important basic material for the modern information industry, optics, photovoltaics, semiconductors and other national strategic emerging industries.

Optical Fiber Manufacturing

The application of quartz glass rods in optical fiber manufacturing is one of its most outstanding contributions. More than 95% of the components in optical fiber preforms are high-purity quartz glass, and in the production process of optical fiber rods and wire drawing, a large amount of quartz glass materials need to be consumed, such as gripping rods, quartz cups, etc. With its excellent light transmission and high uniformity, quartz glass rods have become a key support material in the deposition and sintering of optical fiber preforms and optical fiber drawing. In addition, the high purity and low hydroxyl content of quartz glass rods further ensure the stability and low loss of optical fiber transmission, providing a solid material foundation for the rapid development of modern optical communication technology.

High-end optics

Quartz glass rods also play an important role in the fabrication of high-end optical devices. Due to their unique optical properties, such as good transmittance and excellent optical uniformity in a very wide spectrum from far ultraviolet to far infrared, quartz glass rods are widely used in the fabrication of optical components such as lenses, prisms, etc. These optical components play a crucial role in the fields of optical instruments, laser technology applications, and precision measurement. In addition, quartz glass rods are also used in the fabrication of TFT-LCD high definition displays and photomask substrate materials for ICs, further promoting the development of modern display technology and the semiconductor industry.

Aerospace and defense industry

The application of quartz glass rods in the aerospace and defense industries cannot be ignored either. Quartz glass fibers and composites based on quartz glass fibers have excellent high temperature resistance, ablation resistance, high wave transmission and electrical insulation properties, and are functional materials widely used in the field of aerospace and marine equipment. Optical windows and observation windows made of quartz glass rods play a key role in the optical systems of spacecraft, satellites and other spacecraft, providing clear and accurate visual information for spacecraft navigation, communication and observation.

New light source

Quartz glass rods are also widely used in the manufacture of new light sources. Such as high pressure mercury lamps, long arc xenon lamps, tungsten iodide lamps, thallium iodide lamps, infrared lamps and sterilization lamps, these light sources have a wide range of application value in medical, scientific research, industry and other fields. Quartz glass rods ensure the stability and long life of these light sources due to their excellent high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

Other optical applications

In addition to the main applications mentioned above, quartz glass rods also play an important role in other optical fields. Such as optical systems used to make spectrophotometers, lens materials for large astronomical telescopes, etc. These applications further demonstrate the versatility and importance of quartz glass rods in the field of optics.

The application of quartz glass rods in the field of optics is multi-faceted and extensive, and with the continuous development of modern science and technology, its application scope is still expanding. As an important optical material, quartz glass rods will continue to play an irreplaceable role in the development of modern optical technology with its unique properties and wide application prospects.
