The material in question is not "fused" silica and can be characterized as amorphous. Unlike fused silica, which is made at very high temperatures exceeding 1000°C to densify and crystallize it, the material is based on the Stober process and does not undergo temperatures greater than 150°C. This amorphous versus crystalline distinction could account for the difference in refractive index.

Could you please confirm if 904376-2G is made of fused silica? It was found that the refractive index of the microspheres is lower than the expected value for fused silica by about 0.023. For instance, at 1100nm, the measured refractive index is 1.426, while the value for fused silica is expected to be 1.449. If it is indeed fused silica, is there a reason why the refractive index is lower than the expected value?
