Estimating the term…
A diffuser material of synthetically produced, pore-containing quartz glass and a method for the manufacture of a molded body consisting fully or in part thereof. The diffuser material has a chemical purity of at least 99.9% SiO2, a cristobalite content of not more than 1%, and a density in the range of 2.0 to 2.18 g/cm3. Starting therefrom, to indicate a diffuser material which is improved with respect to diffuse reflectivity with Lambertian behavior over a wide wavelength range, high material homogeneity and UV radiation resistance, the quartz glass has a hydroxyl group content in the range of at least 200 wt. ppm and at least 80% of the pores have a maximum pore dimension of less than 20 μm.
A diffuser material of pore-containing quartz glass with a chemical purity of at least 99.9% SiO2, a cristobalite content of not more than 1%, and a density in the range of 2.0 to 2.18 g/cm3, whereby at least 80% of the pores have a maximum pore dimension of less than 20 μm, wherein the quartz glass is produced synthetically, has a hydroxyl group content in the range of more than 200 wt. ppm, and contains hydrogen in a concentration in the range of 1017 molecules/cm3 to 1019 molecules/cm3.
