The usage of flat windows allows optical radiation to pass from one environment to another, without mixing other components of these environments. Considerations in selecting windows may include transmission, scattering, wavefront distortion and resistance to certain environments. The ideal window allows an optical beam to pass from one medium to the next without changing the wavelength distribution of the beam, the transmitted wavefront or scatter any of the light out of the beam. We offer windows of three different materials, from which you may choose in accordance with the properties you need: BK7 and UV grade fused silica.
Windows can be anti-reflection coated. For required coating please refer to the COATINGS section. Diameter up to 250 mm is available on request.
Have high transmittance, low wavefront distortion and low scatter
Are durable and strong
BK7 glass is economical and ideal choice for high quality visible applications
UV FS has deepest UV range and highest transmittance
