Which glass and crystal materials can BY Photonics machine?

We machine JGS1 UV fused silica, JGS2 and JGS3 fused quartz, borosilicate glass, optical glass, optical color filter glass, infrared glass, samarium- and cerium-doped glass, sapphire, PTFE-based diffuse reflector material and laser ceramics.

What is the difference between JGS1, JGS2 and JGS3 quartz glass?

JGS1 is synthetic UV-grade fused silica with high transmission from about 185 nm. JGS2 is fused quartz for the visible range with good UV transmission from about 220 nm. JGS3 is infrared-grade fused quartz with low OH content that transmits up to about 3,500 nm.

Which drawing formats should I send for a custom part?

STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF or a dimensioned PDF are all accepted. Please include material, quantity, critical tolerances, surface quality, coating and the operating environment of the part.

How quickly will I receive engineering feedback?

Our engineers review complete drawings and return a manufacturability assessment within 24 hours on working days.

Do you support prototypes and export shipping?

Yes. We support prototype and low-volume orders as well as repeat batch production, and our components are shipped to customers worldwide.

Product Description

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary applications of custom precision quartz capillary tubes?

Custom precision quartz capillary tubes are widely used in gas chromatography (GC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), optical fiber communication, medical fluid delivery systems, and precision optical sensor sleeves due to their tight dimensional tolerances and chemical inertness.

What is the advantage of using fluorine-doped fused silica capillary tubing?

Fluorine doping reduces the refractive index of fused silica. This makes fluorine-doped fused silica capillary tubes ideal for optical waveguiding components, cladding materials, and specialized fiber-optic communication devices requiring precise refractive index profiling.

What tolerance levels can be achieved with custom quartz capillary tubing?

Precision micro-fabrication allows inner diameters (ID) and outer diameters (OD) to achieve micro-level tolerances, typically down to ±0.001 mm to ±0.005 mm depending on the specific geometry and material requirements.

How do quartz capillary tubes perform under high-temperature environments?

Quartz and fused silica capillary tubes possess exceptionally low thermal expansion coefficients, enabling continuous thermal stability up to approximately 1100°C and short-term operational resistance up to 1200°C without deformation.

Can end finishes and specialized coatings be applied to capillary tubes?

Yes, custom precision quartz capillary tubes can be finished with optical-grade polishing, flat cleaving, beveling, or anti-reflective (AR) coatings, and can be protected with external polyimide or metallic coatings for enhanced mechanical strength.
