IRphotonics UVIR™ glass is a proprietary fluoride glass that offers a broad transmission from 200 nm to 6 μm. It is ideally suited for high volume applications in the UV and the infrared. It has a negative dn/dT and a low refractive index.

UVIR™ can be easily machined by diamond turning, grinding and polishing, molding and MRF. Its amorphous structure limits tool wear during diamond turning, which translates into cost savings.

UVIR™ glass can advantageously replace calcium fluoride because of its greater machinability and better surface roughness. It is an ideal material for aspherical lenses for both the UV and the IR.

• Moldable Amorphous Material
• Easier to Diamond Point Turn than CaF2
• Low Refractive Index
• Negative dn/dT
• High Transmission from UV to Mid-Infrared
