JGS1 Quartz Glass for Laser Systems – JGS1 Quartz Glass (CTE 0.55 x 10^-6 /K, 185 nm – 2.5 um (UV grade)). No minimum order; DFM review included with every RFQ.
What jgs1 quartz glass for laser systems actually buys from a glass shop: windows, beam splitters, debris shields. The requirement underneath is high damage-threshold optics with certified surfaces. JGS1 Quartz Glass is the fit here because it offers deep-UV transmission to 185 nm.

Getting the drawing right
The shop-floor rules that matter here:
- Material note: UV-grade surfaces must be polished without subsurface damage that scatters below 250 nm.
- Over-specification is the quiet budget killer: a 20/10 scratch-dig face costs roughly three times an 80/50 face, so grade each surface individually.
For the complete framework, see the tolerance design guide and the holes and edges design guide.
Capabilities and limits
One material, many routes: on JGS1 Quartz Glass we also quote dicing, double-side polishing, drilling, grinding, and multi-step drawings are the norm rather than the exception.

Common questions
How does JGS1 Quartz Glass behave under heat?
CTE is 0.55 x 10^-6 /K and continuous service reaches 1,100 C continuous, which is what drives its use where deep-UV transmission to 185 nm matters.
What do laser systems programs usually order?
Windows, beam splitters, debris shields. Typical spec: scratch-dig 20/10, LIDT to 10 J/cm2 @ 1064 nm.
Is there a minimum order for jgs1 quartz glass for laser systems?
No. Single prototypes are accepted, and pricing steps down at 10, 100 and 1,000 pieces.
How fast can prototypes ship?
Machined prototypes ship in 5 – 10 working days. Coated or bonded parts add 1 – 2 weeks depending on queue slots.
