Crystran are optical engineers specialising in fabricating components
from exotic materials. The materials that we work with are mainly
crystal or innovative glasses used for their particular transmission
properties, from which we derive the name of our company.
These materials include Germanium and Zinc Selenide of course, but also
Calcium Fluoride, Magnesium Fluoride and the broadest range of infrared
and ultraviolet materials under one roof. We also work with many glass
types suitable for visible optics or near IR and UV. Filter glasses,
high index glasses or even the commonly found BK-7 can be supplied.
Where do we do it?
Crystran is a small company with a wealth of experience. As a part of a
large international chemical company we spent more than 200 cumulative
years working with specialised optical materials. Collectively we had
overseen the manufacture of thousands of crystals and managed several
large contracts in the USA, Japan and at the European research facility
at CERN in Geneva.
All this proved to be a good start in December 1993 when we continued
to trade under our own ownership, and today we occupy our own factory
with 10,000 sq ft of manufacturing space and 20 employees including
graduates in Chemistry, Physics and Quality Assurance. Our customer
base is global and ranges from major international manufacturers of
analytical and control instrumentation, aerospace companies and space
agencies, to research establishments and most leading Universities
worldwide.
How do we do it?
By staying close to our customers and giving straightforward honest
advice whenever we can. The sales team at Crystran possess a wide
experience of not only optics, but also of the chemistry and physics of
materials and of crystal growth. We have access to some of the finest
crystal growth facilities in Europe through the agencies of our
associate company in Germany, who are renowned for their high quality
optical fluoride materials. Crystran is approved to ISO9001:2000 -

customers.
Costs
We manufacture blanks and polished optics from crystals grown within
our group or from stocks of ingot held at Crystran to ensure lowest
costs.
Quality
Crystals and finished optics are inspected at all stages to ensure that
quality is maintained. We adopt total quality management principles and
are approved to ISO9001:2000.
Flexibility
Whether your need is for single or volume, Crystran is always ready to
offer to your requirements; on many occasions we can source from stock
overnight, just call and find out. Click to access current stock offers.
Data
The data on these pages are downloadable as a set of data-sheets. We
have established a reputation as a leader in the supply of the broadest
range of IR and UV optical materials. There is a huge range of other
crystals and glasses that do not feature on our product list. If the
material you seek is not in our listing, don't give up as we probably
have data on it and know where you can get it.
