IdealPhotonics Gallium Arsenide is most useful in applications where toughness and durability are important. Its hardness and strength make it a good choice where dust or abrasive particles tend to build up on or bombard the optical surfaces. The material is non-hydroscopic , safe to use in laboratory and field conditions and is chemically stable except when in contact with strong acids.
