Optical Materials - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_MaterialsOptical Materials is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of materials, suitable for various optical devices. The journal also publishes papers about physical and chemical properties of such materials and their applications.
Optical materials, explained by RP Photonics Encyclopedia ...
https://www.rp-photonics.com/optical_materials.htmlThe mostly used optical materials are optical glasses made of inorganic compounds, containing chemical species like silicon, oxygen, sodium, aluminum, germanium, boron and lead.. Only in few cases, one uses pure materials with very few chemical constituents; the most prominent example is fused silica glass (silicon dioxide, SiO 2), which is widely used for bulk optics.
