Transmission curves of optical glasses and crystals
Please note:
The curves on the right show external transmission and include the fresnel reflection losses of the polished surfaces.
With high quality antireflection coatings these losses can be eliminated for selected wavelength ranges.
Transmission curves 0.1 – 1.0 µm (nonlinear scaling)
Transmission curves 1.0 – 10.0 µm (nonlinear scaling)
Transmission curves 10 – 100 µm (nonlinear scaling)
