Fluorescence of fused silica, quartz and Borofloat 33?

Click For Summary
Fused silica, quartz, and Borofloat 33 are all transparent glass substrates, but their fluorescence levels vary. The discussion seeks to identify which of these materials exhibits the lowest fluorescence for optimal transparency. There is a lack of direct comparative data available online regarding their fluorescence properties. The conversation suggests exploring alternative materials, such as transparent ceramics, which may offer better transparency and lower photon absorption. Further research into these materials is recommended for specific applications requiring minimal fluorescence.

I am trying to get a glass substrate, which is transparent. However, I need this substrate to have low fluorescence. I know fused silica, quartz and Borofloat 33 are transparent but I don't know which one has the lowest fluorescence. I checked google but can't find any data that directly compares them. Any clues?

So what you really want is material, not glass necessarily, which is maximally transparent?
Which absorbs very few photons at any wavelength?
I found this,which might be a good place to start. (maybe).

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
