SCHOTT GLAS

For more than 120 years, SCHOTT Advanced Optics has been offering a large portfolio of high quality optical glasses to meet the needs of a broad variety of optical applications as well as industrial applications, ranging from consumer products to optical systems at the leading edge of research.

We aim to meet future market requirements by providing new optical glasses for rapidly growing market-oriented innovations, and utilizing new melting processes to ensure economical and timely production. Our range of optical glasses includes arsenic free N-glasses, glasses suitable for precision molding (low Tg glass) as well as classical glass types with lead oxide as an essential component for outstanding optical properties.

Our latest list of preferred glasses includes about 115 glass types which are classified into glass groups based upon similar chemical composition (and hence optical position) and are illustrated in a
