Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How does ZWB1 (UG11) compare to ZWB2 (UG1) and ZWB3 (UG5)?
A: ZWB1 (UG11) is the specialist for 254nm Deep UV. While ZWB2 (UG1) is optimized for 365nm and ZWB3 (UG5) is for broad-spectrum photography, ZWB1 provides the cleanest signal for short-wave UVC applications.
Q: Does ZWB1 solarize over time?
A: All UV glass can experience solarization under intense UVC exposure. However, our ZWB1 is manufactured using high-purity raw materials to minimize this effect and ensure long-term stability in sensor windows.
Q: What custom shapes are available?
A: YOUJIA OPTICAL can process ZWB1 into precision micro-lenses, custom square windows, and CNC-drilled components for integrated sensor housings.
