Sunny Precision Optics can provide raw calcite crystal and are extracted from the deposit to meet U.S. Military specifications MIL-G-174B. change, we can provide colorless calcite using our unique techniques in color , which has 15~20% transmission improvement from yellow calcite at short wavelength. We may supply raw calcite size. Calcite is a natural crystal that has high birefringence and wide spectral transmission and available on a variety of size from 10mm to 80mm rhombs. It is a negative uniaxial crystals and commonly used as UV, visible and near IR polarizers. We can provide quality Raw calcite, semi-finished product and Polarizer product.
Spectral Properties, Wavefront Distortion (Striae), Scatter are main reasons to affect calcite's quality.
