A Grade Transparent Optical K9 Glass Clock Window

Optical windows are typically fabricated from two flat, or commonly referred to as plano, polished surfaces that are optically transparent and intended to separate, seal, or otherwise protect other components. The double-sided manufacturing process yields exceptional parallelism and transmitted wavefront making it ideal for visible windows in industrial and biomedical applications, as well as IR windows in infrared and military/defense applications.

What is optical window?

Optical Windows are flat, plane-parallel, transparent optical surfaces designed to protect sensor, and other electronic instruments from environment conditions.

How to choose optical wafer?

Optical Glass Window selection considerations include material transmission properties as well as scattering, strength and resistance to certain environments.
Custom optical windows can be optically polished and incorporate elements for diffusing light source to control illumination.

What are the materials of optical flat?

The windows are made in a range of materials including Sapphire, UV Fused Silica, Quartz, IR Crystals and BK7/k9 etc.. Our optical window properties include x-ray protection, non-browning to UV light and light transmission from deep ultra violet to far-infrared. AR coatings can be applied to ensure maximum transmission performance for a particular wavelength.

Coatings of optical glass windows

Optical window can be a protection of original when it’s in two physical environments. And there is almost no effect on visible light,to coating on the surface of windows could increase the transmittance,the commonly used coatings are antireflection coating (AR) and scratch-resistant coating(AS).Optical glass flat with coating can enhance the light penetration strength,and own function of waterproof ,dustproof,and scratch-proof.

Types of Optical Windows

• Ultraviolet Windows
  This kind of optial windows-ultraviolet windows are often used with laser instruments or other applications in medical, industrial and defense areas. Sydor Optics can help determine the best substrates, UV coatings, and other optical properties and custom manufacture UV windows to best meet your specific requirements and applications. Anti-Reflective (AR) coating is available for one or both surfaces.
• Infrared (IR) Windows
  Infrared windows are often used in FLIR, FTIR spectroscopy, medical systems, thermal imaging, or other optics applications within the infrared light spectrum. IR windows can help protect your employees and equipment.

What is optical grade glass?
Optical glass is defined material in terms of refractive index, Abbe number, and other optical properties. Usually, it has a very high material purity, contains only minimal amounts of bubbles and inclusions, and often features an excellent refractive index homogeneity and high light transmission.
