Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19841932A1] An UV transmitting optical component consists of a flame hydrolysis deposited and directly vitrified quartz glass of extremely low hydrogen content. An optical component for transmitting UV radiation of <= 250 nm wavelength consists of quartz glass formed by direct vitrification of fine grained SiO2 deposited on a substrate by flame hydrolysis of a chlorine-free silicon compound. The quartz glass has a hydrogen content of less than 5\*10<16> molecules/cm<3>. An Independent claim is also included for production of the above optical component, the quartz glass being subjected to a hydrogen content reduction treatment. Preferred Features: The hydrogen content reduction treatment comprises treatment in vacuum and/or a chemically reactive atmosphere.
