This document outlines characteristics of various materials that the design team is
considering for initial testing.
Candidate materials for Transmissive UV optics include Fused Silica, Quartz, Vycor,
some formulations of Pyrex, Sapphire and a variety of fluoride compounds.
Pros: Cheap
It has good transmission from the vacuum UV to the near infrared. Due to its
birefringent nature, crystal quartz is commonly used for wave plates.

Calcium Fluoride

Down to 130nm
Calcium fluoride can be used without an Anti-Reflection coating due to its low index
of refraction.

As per Texas Instruments DMD specs, working belo 400nm, right where the near UV range starts is
detrimental to the DMD chips. The most damaging process results through outgassing of sealants in
the micromirror array. This is the reason why DLP projectors have internal UV filters, generally
included in the UHP lamp rack.
