- High-Energy Radiation Resistant
- Transmission is excellent between 200nm - 12μm.
- Provide high transmission without the use of AR coatings.
-
Barium Fluoride (BaF2) is the fastest known scintillator material; it has characteristics comparable to calcium fluoride but is more resistant to high-energy radiation. It is, however, more susceptible to water damage. Features
-
Brewster Windows are windows that are meant to be used at Brewster's angle (usually uncoated). This is the angle at which only incident p-polarized light has 0% transmission loss. Instead of exterior mirrors, a Brewster window is an uncoated substrate positioned at Brewster's angle within a laser. This substrate works as a polarizer, allowing p-polarized light to enter and exit the window without reflection losses while reflecting s-polarized light. Features
- Perfect for Laser Cavities.
- A substrate with UV Fused Silica.
- Without Reflection Losses, P-Polarized Light is Transmitted.

Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) Windows have a high damage threshold and low absorption and are transparent from 180 nm to 8µm. It is a great choice for FTIR analysis, excimer laser systems, spectroscopic windows, and thermal imaging systems. Features:
- <1 arc-minute parallelism
- Ideally suited for excimer laser applications.
- Transparent in UV, visible, and infrared light.
- A low absorption rate and a high damage threshold
- In comparison to other IR materials, it has a low chromatic aberration.
-
Fused Silica Windows are an excellent choice for high-precision, clear transmittance applications. They have low bulk scatter and autofluorescence, as well as incredibly high surface quality and parallelism. Many sectors use fused silica windows, including aircraft, astronomy, military and commercial avionics, medical and scientific instruments, academics and research, and industrial uses. They're an excellent choice for laser applications, spectroscopy, photolithography, vacuum windows, and a variety of other uses.

A Germanium Window is an optical window that is opaque to UV and visible light but transmits a wide range of infrared radiation. Because of its low dispersion, it exhibits little chromatic aberration. Germanium is also a material commonly for IR windows and lenses in thermal imaging systems. Features -
- Excellent for near-infrared and imaging applications.
- Anti-reflection coating with a wavelength range of 8 to 12 µm.
- This Window is ideal for low-power CO2 laser applications.
