Our optical glasses cover the requirements of numerous applications and are available as blocks or strips. They were treated by our sophisticated annealing process and brought into a state with precisely defined optical properties. In addition, we offer our“P”-glasses for the precision molding process (Low Tg glasses). These glasses are in coarse annealed state.

Abbe Number νd
Abbe number is a measure for the dispersion. It is calculated by νd=(nd-1)/(nF-nC)
Abbe Number νe
Abbe number is a measure for the dispersion. It is calculated by νe=(ne-1)/(nF-nC)
Standard Dispersion nF - nC
Standard dispersion results from the difference of the refractive indices nF-nC
Principal Dispersion nF' - nC'
Principal dispersion results from the difference of the refractive indices nF'-nC'
Relative Partial Dispersion Pg,F
The relative partial dispersion Pg,F of the spectral lines g and F is derived the equation Pg,F= (ng - nF)/(nF - nC).
