Optical Diffusers
Optical diffusers are used to diffuse light and reduce directionality of the beam. Industrial Optics stocks and custom manufactures ground glass diffusers for a variety of industrial uses. Our ground glass diffusers can be ordered round, square or rectangular and in a range of surface roughness. A fine ground finish provides a higher transmittance while a course ground finish provides less transmittance but a higher amount of diffusion.
Optical glass diffusers are commonly made from Borofloat, Soda Lime, BK-7, or Fused Silica. Depending on your application any of the above listed materials you can be provided with a quick turnaround in either a fine ground finish or a course ground finish.
Flashed opal diffusers offer better diffusion than optical glass but with a very high scattering loss. Opal diffusers come in standard sheets and can be shaped per your specifications for a quick turnaround.
Industrial Optics can support your custom optical diffuser requirements or match our major catalog competitor parts while offering you higher quality at a cost savings.
