Buying Optical Materials
A wide range of mostly transparent materials is used for optical elements, including inorganic glasses, insulating crystalline materials, semiconductors, polycrystalline ceramics, and organic polymers.
Making Good Purchase Decisions
RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.
NEW: Structured Decision Process
We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.
(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

Whether your application works in the visible, ultraviolet (UV), near-infrared (NIR) or infrared (IR) spectrum, we have a wide variety of wavelength-specific substrates for customisation or from our extensive stock range. From BK7 (or equivalent), UV-grade fused silica and quartz to germanium, sapphire and zinc selenide – plus many more substrate alternatives – our components are capable of meeting any requirement. |
![]() Engineering on Your Wavelength Covesion Ltd.Unit F3, Adanac North Adanac Drive Nursling, Southampton SO16 0BT United Kingdom | ![]() Lithium niobate is a ferroelectric material in which the domain structure can be inverted by application of an electric field. By applying a spatially patterned electric field, so called periodic poling, a periodic reversal in the in-built polarization can be produced within the crystal. Doping PPLN with 5% MgO significantly increases the optical and photorefractive resistance of the crystal while preserving its high nonlinear coefficient allowing for broader temperature tuning of the device, increased wavelength tunability and increased power handling capabilities of the device. This broad wavelength tuneability means PPLN can be used for a range of applications from microscopy to quantum communication. |
