Why Choose Chrome on Glass Substrate?

The superior substrate choice for the most demanding calibration applications

Ultra-Low Thermal Expansion

Coefficient of thermal expansion <5×10⁻⁷/°C - 15×better than standard glass. Maintains precision across temperature variations from -40°C to +1100°C.

Exceptional Flatness

Surface flatness down to 5μm for targets up to 130mm. Critical for applications requiring consistent optical path length across the entire surface.

Superior Optical Properties

High transmission (>93%) across visible spectrum with excellent homogeneity. Perfect for backlight and transmission illumination setups

Ultimate Feature Resolution

Minimum feature size down to 0.5μm with razor-sharp edges. Lithographic process delivers unmatched pattern definition and contrast.


Why Substrate Choice Matters for Your Application

Minimum Line/space

Left: Soda lime glass targets resolve features down to 1μm - suitable for general testing applications.

Right: Quartz glass targets achieve 0.5μm resolution - essential for high-precision measurement systems requiring maximum accuracy.

Thermal Expansion Coeff

Glass expands when heated and contracts when cooled.

Note: Quartz glass offers approximately 14×it greater dimensional stability under temperature changes

What is Thermal Expansion Coeff in Glass Substrates?

hermal expansion is how much a material grows or shrinks when temperature changes.T Quartz glass has ultra-low thermal expansion ( <5×;10⁻⁷/°C), expanding only 0.55μm per meter per degree Celsius ‐ 15 times less than standard glass. This ensures calibration targets maintain precision across temperature variations.

Tips to Prons & Cons

One of the advantages of quartz glass is Low Thermal Expansion Rate (CTE): <5.0*10⁻⁷, it delivers superior thermal stability (0.55μm/°C vs 8.5μm/°C). Essential for precision measurements, optional for general testing applications.

Unless you need exceptional thermal stability, soda lime glass delivers excellent performance at a fraction of the cost of quartz glass.

Superior Light Transmission

Industries that demand the ultimate in calibration precision

Soda Lime Glass (Float Silica):
Transmission Rate >90% at 550nm

Quartz Glass (Fused Silica):
Transmission Rate >95% at 550nm

Surface Flatness Comparison

Glass expands when heated and contracts when cooled.

What is Surface Flatness?

Surface flatness indicates how level a target’s surface is across its entire area. Quartz glass maintains flatness within 5μm for targets up to 130mm, ensuring consistent optical path length and accurate measurements throughout the calibration area.

Note: Quartz glass consistently delivers 5-10× better surface flatness across all size ranges, making it ideal for precision optical applications.

Glass Type Soda Lime Glass (Standard Float Glass) Quartx Glass (Fused Silica) Small Samples
Small Samples Surface Deviation <5μm (for sizes under 100mm) <lμm (for sizes under 50mm)
Medium Samples Surface Deviation <20μm (for sizes under 200mm) <2μm (for sizes under 100mm)
Large Samples Surface Deviation 0<50μm (for sizes over 200mm) <5μm(for sizes over 100mm)

Ultra-Smooth Surface

Surface Roughness: Less than 25 nanometers

Note: Diagram shows microscopic surface profile with maximum height variations under 25nm

Our precision-polished quartz glass features an exceptionally smooth surface with microscopic variations of less than 0.025μm (25nm) – approximately 2,000 times thinner than a human hair.

This near-perfect surface quality ensures:

  • Superior optical performance
  • Minimal light scatter
  • Optimal coating adhesion
  • Exceptional image clarity
