Request InfoSumita Optical Glass Inc.An optical glass for low-temperature precision molding in the range from 370 to 375 °C has been developed by Sumita Optical Glass Inc. K-PG375/Vidron has a thermal expansion of 169 x 10–7 and a transformation point of 343 °C for higher heat resistance. The glass allows the production of complicated shapes, such as aspheric lenses with holograms, fly-eye lenses, and microlens and fiber optic arrays. The lower temperature required for the molding process extends the life of the die. The company says the lead- and arsenic-free material is environmentally friendly and provides superior weather...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 10/27/2021Fiber Optic Solutions for Medical DevicesSteve Allen provides a brief overview and examples of procedures that continue to push adoption and proliferation of optical fiber-based medical devices.
