POLYMERIC MATERIALS

Of the large number of known polymers, several exhibit useful optical properties. Various

properties of optical plastics are compared with those of glasses below. The documentation

of optical properties and the accuracy of data on plastics are generally not comparable to

that of optical glasses. In addition, mechanical and chemical resistance properties should be

checked with the material supplier because they may vary widely within a polymer group.

Numerous caveats about the use and application of plastics in optical systems are noted in

reference 1.

Optical Transmission

Optical plastics transmit well in the visible and the near infrared, but absorb strongly in the

ultraviolet (fluoropolymers are an exception) and throughout the infrared. Most plastics

degrade somewhat both in physical and optical properties when exposed to ultraviolet

radiation.
