In the optical domain, SCHOTT offers a comprehensive range of high-quality glass types, including crown and flint glasses, as well as specialty materials like laser glasses and radiation
Developed for space, SCHOTT® Solar Glass offers a wide range of technical advantages. It ensures long-term stability, optical performance and reliable protection, supporting
Solar Panels: Glass with appropriate refractive index is used as a cover for solar panels. It allows sunlight to enter the panel while protecting the sensitive components inside.
The level of solar radiation incident on a surface is defined by the combination of its orientation, the solar azimuth and the solar altitude. At high sun angles (>40°), the type of glass used

Most of the materials have a well-characterized refractive index, but these indices often depend strongly upon the frequency of light, causing optical dispersion. Standard refractive index measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength (λ) of 589 nanometers. There are also weaker dependencies on temperature, pressure/stress, etc., as
