Product Description
  • Optical Material: N-BK7
  • Available in both single-side and double-side ground versions
  • Grit options: 120, 220, 600, 1500
  • Uncoated and AR-coated versions available
N-BK7 ground glass diffusers can be used in a variety of applications requiring a Gaussian diffuser. When in use, the ground surface should be positioned away from the light source. LBTEK ground glass diffusers are available in three sizes: 12.7 mm, 25.4 mm, and 50.8 mm in diameter. Single-sided and double-sided ground are available. Single-sided ground is available in uncoated and AR-coated options from 400 nm to 700 nm. LBTEK also offers custom diffusers with AR coatings from 700 nm to 1100 nm and 1100 nm to 1700 nm. LBTEK offers a variety of ground finishes to accommodate a wide range of scattering applications, from fine to coarse. Generally speaking, coarse grit (120, 220) provides greater diffuse scattering but lower transmittance, while fine grit (600, 1500) reduces diffuse scattering but offers higher transmittance. LBTEK also provides customized an ti-reflection coating services for 700 nm-1100 nm and 1100 nm-1700 nm. For specific customization requirements, please contact LBTEK technical support.

Ground Glass Diffusers, Uncoated
  • Substrate Material: N-BK7
  • Uncoated, Working Wavelength: 350 nm-2.0 μm
  • Single or double-sided ground available
  • 120 Grit, 220 Grit, 600 Grit, 1500 Grit Available

LBTEK offers a variety of ground and polished surfaces, enabling a wide range of diffuser applications, from fine to coarse. Generally speaking, coarse grit (120, 220) provides greater diffuse light but lower transmittance, while fine grit (600, 1500) reduces diffuse light but offers higher transmittance. LBTEK circular ground glass diffusers can be mounted in LBTEK standard lens tubes, fixed lens mounts, and various coaxial mounting plates. Choose the optimal mounting method for each application.

LBTEK Unmounted Ground Glass Diffuser is suitable for building compact systems.

Ground Glass Diffusers, AR Coating 400 nm-700 nm
  • Substrate Material: N-BK7
  • Anti-Reflection Coating 400 nm-700 nm
  • 120 Grit, 220 Grit, 600 Grit, 1500 Grit Optional

LBTEK offers a variety of ground & polished surfaces in various specifications, enabling a wide range of scattering applications, from fine to coarse. Generally speaking, coarse grit (120, 220) provides greater diffuse scattering but lower transmittance, while fine grit (600, 1500) reduces diffuse scattering but offers higher transmittance. LBTEK circular frosted glass diffusers can be mounted on LBTEK standard lens tubes, fixed lens mounts, and various coaxial mounting plates. The optimal mounting method can be selected for each application scenario. In addition to standard products, LBTEK also offers custom AR coatings for 700 nm-1100 nm and 1100 nm-1700 nm. Please contact LBTEK technical support for specific customization requirements.

The Ground Glass Diffuser is installed on the lens mount FLF1.
