The Fused Silica Frosted Rod is a precision optical component with a diameter of 9mm and a length of 23.5mm, manufactured from high-purity silicon dioxide. The uniform fine frosted surface diffuses light softly and evenly, providing stable light scattering performance for spectral and optical systems. With high UV transmittance, excellent temperature resistance and strong chemical inertness, the rod maintains consistent optical behavior in demanding laboratory environments. The durable frosted finish resists peeling, while the ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient and high dimensional accuracy ensure long-term reliability in precision optical assemblies.

The Fused Silica Frosted Rod is designed for optical systems that require controlled light diffusion and scattering. It is widely used as a spectral diffusion accessory, spreading light evenly to improve measurement accuracy in spectrometers and photometers. In illumination systems, the rod serves as an optical homogenizing component, converting point or beam light into uniform diffuse output. The component is also adopted as an optical attenuation part for laboratory optical paths, providing repeatable scattering-based attenuation. Additionally, the rod functions as a scattering rod for standard light sources, helping calibrate instruments by delivering stable, diffused reference illumination.
