λ10 N-BK7 Windows

An Optical Window is a transparent optical component that transmits light while acting as a barrier between detrimental external conditions and sensitive cores inside a system. Apart from the primary function of protection, optical windows might also be used as elements to increase transmission, enhance contrast, or seal a hermetic chamber. Optical windows can be incorporated into a diverse range of optical devices including sensors, cameras, and lasers.

Features:

1.High Precision:

• λ/10 flatness ensures minimal optical distortion for superior imaging quality.
• 10/5 S/D surface quality reduces scattering and reflection losses, maximizing light transmission.

2.Versatile Coating Options:

• Standard coatings available for 400-700nm, 700-1100nm, and 1100-1650nm, covering both VIS and IR spectra.
• Customized coatings can be tailored to meet specific application requirements.

3.Robust Material:

• Manufactured using SCHOTT’s N-bk7 glass, a ROHs-compliant borosilicate glass material known for its optical excellence, low cost, wide transmittance range (VIS to NIR), and mechanical/thermal resilience.

4.Laser-Line Optimization:

• Designed to transmit laser wavelengths efficiently while minimizing losses due to absorption or scattering.
• Deflects harmful laser beams, safeguarding sensitive internal components.

5.Standardized and Customizable Sizes:

• Off-the-shelf products with standardized sizes benefit OEMs.
• Custom sizes available to meet specific customer requirements.

Applications:

• Sensors:Optical windows protect sensitive sensor components while ensuring high transmission and contrast for accurate measurements.
• Cameras and Imaging Systems:Used to enhance image quality by reducing reflections and scattering, as well as protecting the camera’s internal components.
