Optimum Transmission Range:	Ideal Applications:
250 nm - 3.6 µm	Superior optical quality and IR transmission
	Solar simulation optics

This fused quartz material is virtually free of OH^- ions allowing it to provide superior transmittance in the 2.7 µm wavelength ("water band") region.  I2-IR is a high quality optical grade IR fused quartz with outstanding homogeneity and bubble characteristics.  A commercial quality of IR quartz is also available, however it often contains many small bubbles and should only be used for non-imaging applications.
