Optical windows for your application

Optical windows allow light to pass through while separating an optical system from its surroundings. Material, surface quality and coating choices should be considered together with the operating conditions.

Custom optical windows can be tailored through optical fabrication to meet dimensional and surface requirements, with optical coating selected for the operating wavelength.

Build around your requirements

Use these points to prepare a window specification for review.

Specification Details to discuss
Substrate BK7, fused quartz, fused silica, sapphire, CaF2 or MgF2
Coating Uncoated or coating requirements for your operating wavelength
Dimensions & shape Diameter or length × width, thickness and edge requirements
Optical quality Surface quality, flatness, parallelism and clear aperture
Operating conditions Wavelength, angle of incidence and environmental conditions

Specification checklist only. Available configurations and tolerances are subject to confirmation.
