How much do you know about optical windows?

Introduction to optical windows

Optical windows can be made of glass, quartz, or other optical materials whose properties are light transmission and can be used to protect the optical system from environmental factors such as dust, humidity, and pressure.

Optical window applications

1.Laser technology

Optical windows are used in laser systems to transmit the laser beam while maintaining beam quality.

2. Aerospace and Defense

They are critical for optical sensors, targeting systems and imaging equipment in aircraft and military equipment.

3.Medical equipment

Optical windows are used in medical devices such as endoscopes, lasers, and imaging systems.

4.Industrial machinery

Optical windows are used in sensors, cameras and inspection systems for quality control and monitoring processes.

How to choose the right optical window product:

First, we have to choose the right material

We need to select appropriate materials based on the characteristics of optical transparency, heat resistance and chemical compatibility required for our own projects;

Second, consider size and shape

We need to inform suppliers to choose to meet the requirements of the optical system project based on the project’s size data;

Coating requirements

When it comes to coating, we need to consider whether to use a reflective coating or a protective layer to improve the performance and durability of our optical window accessories.
