UV and IR Window is Optical Windows intended for optimal performance in the Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) spectrums. Both UV and IR Windows are made of materials transparent in suitable spectral range and commonly shielded with dedicated AR coating to minimize reflection. Such windows can be used to safeguard some sensitive part of the system such as sensors. It provides good protection against light power or mechanical wreck. UV Window is applied in several laser applications, while IR Window is ideal for use in FTIR spectroscopy, besides to thermal imaging, FLIR, or medical arrangements. Optical Windows do not present optical intensification into a system. These windows must be decided based on the substrate’s mechanical or optical properties.
You can get a comprehensive range of Optical Windows that includes UV Window or IR Window in multiple anti-reflection coating or substrate options. Thus, it means your custom needs of these windows can become reality, all you need to pick the manufacture with ability. You can select from substrate options of custom UV and IR optical windows with materials such as UV Fused Silica, Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2), Potassium Bromide (KBr), Sapphire, Silicon (Si), Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Zinc Selenside (ZnSe), or Zinc Sulfide, BaF2, Germanium, Fused Silica, BK7 and more. Custom size round, square, rectangular windows, etc. are available with Coe Optics.
Optical Windows are flat, plane-parallel plates that are every so often utilized as protective barriers for electronic sensors or detectors from external settings. Optical Windows should be selected based on the material transmission or mechanical properties of the substrate. BK7 Window is high quality optical glass commonly used for windows, lenses, and prisms where transmission in the range 0.4µm to 1.4µm is desired. Usually, it is used for thermally non-critical applications. The mechanical and optical properties of this window are remarkable. While UV Fused Silica Window is an excellent material for the transmission from 185nm to 2100nm. It has better thermal stability than BK7 glass.
IR Window is also called viewports or viewing panes and it is essential to meet the strength and environmental requirements for the type of equipment in which they are fitted. The Windows ought to be also compatible with the infrared equipment being used. The shapes and the sizes of the Windows come in variety like square, round, rectangular or custom. To make it simpler to comprehend, the ideal IR window is one that would allow all infrared radiation to pass through it with zero losses. Though, achieving perfect 100% is very difficult but COE Optics can get very close!
