Crystal Growth – Customized Optics

Korth Kristalle founded in 1949 is specialized in the field of crystal growth and the manufacturing of optical components. The company is family owned and independent, a unique situation in Europe. This allows us to be flexible to meet our customer requirements. We can produce any quantity from a single crystal up to industrial volumes.

Typical Applications are e.g.:

  • Analytical instruments
  • Environmental protection
  • Space technology
  • Laser and Medical technology

Our Products and Services include:

  • Optics in all different inhouse* materials: 
  • ((high-end synthetic MgF2, CaF2, BaF2, SrF2, LiF, KBr, NaCl, KCl, CsBr, CsI, KRS-5)* – also Sapphire, ZnSe, ZnS, Ge, Si, Quartz and others))
  • Spherical Lenses
