Low volume-scattering ceramics for optical measurement / inspection applications

Low Volume-scattering Technical Ceramics

LovTEC

Features

  • ・Low volume scattering inside the ceramics resulting in low optical penetration
  • ・Most incoming light is reflected diffusely, even as a mirror there is low regular reflection
  • ・High total reflectivity: Pure white, 90% or more of visible spectrum
  • ・Low thermal expansion: 0.6 x 10-6/K at room temperature (super invar alloy equivalent)
  • ・Supports ultra-precise machining (sub-micron order flatness/sphericity)
  • ・No rust
  • ・Light weight (Bulk density 3.0 g/cm3)

  • Light total reflectivity (integral reflectance)
  • 1mm plate light transmittance
