High precision optical windows

Optical windows are transparent, flat, plane-parallel optical surfaces designed to shield sensors and electronic instruments from environmental conditions. When selecting optical windows, considerations include material transmission properties, scattering, strength, and resistance to various environments. They should not affect the magnification of a system and can be optically polished to diffuse light sources for controlled illumination. …
