BK7
LaSFN9 Optical Crown Glass F2 Borosilicate Glass (LEBG) Sapphire CaF2
F2

BK7, SF11, LaSFN9, BaK1, and F2 are the most important optical and physical constants for Schott optical glass types. These types are used in most Dream Lasers simple lens products and prisms. The most commonly required chemical characteristics and mechanical constants, are listed. Further numerical data and a more detailed discussion of the various testing processes can be found in the Schott Optical Glass catalog.
