In-Depth Analysis of Optical Glass Dome Cover
1. Cutting-Edge Materials and Advanced Craftsmanship
1.1 Substrate Innovation
Adopts high-purity H-K9L optical glass, processed through triple purification technology to control impurity content below 0.008%, ensuring no absorption peaks in the visible light band and eliminating chromatic aberration and light attenuation at the source. The material undergoes annealing stress relief treatment, with internal stress birefringence value < 3nm/cm, avoiding optical distortion caused by stress concentration.
1.2 Intelligent Manufacturing Process
- Nanoscale Polishing: Utilizes Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) technology to achieve a surface roughness of Ra = 0.3nm and surface shape accuracy of PV = λ/12 (λ = 632.8nm), reducing reflection loss to 0.1% for nearly lossless light transmission.
- Aspherical Customization: Supports high-precision aspherical processing, with sag error controlled within ±0.01mm, adapting to the complex optical requirements of large-aperture lenses and effectively correcting aberrations and coma.
