  • AG glass Windows is used on-screen to reduce sunlight/light reflection. The surface is etched by chemical to specified gloss, roughness and haze. A finished window might need post-treatment such as silk-screen printing, 3M double sides adhesive, heat tempered, coating. Please contact us for more information, supports or free samples.
  • A special type of thick biconvex optical lens is a Ball lenses that usually has a sphere geometric shape. These are made of a single material such as BK7 or other optical glass/Fused Silica/CaF2 which is a commonly used material for ball lenses. The smallest lens we produced is < 0.5 mm. We can process ball lenses using all types of glass material. Our price for PV industry may be as low as USD0.02/pcs. We are developing CSD-based AR-coating to provide a low-cost PV-coating solution.

    What Is a Cylindrical Lens?

    A cylindrical lens focuses light into a straight line. Its surface is shaped from a cylinder, compressing images perpendicular to the axis and maintaining clarity parallel to it. These lenses are critical for correcting astigmatism, as well as precision tasks in spectroscopy, laser scanning, image projection, and advanced imaging systems.

  • 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.  Discover premium Fused Silica Windows from z optics . 0.1 angstrom roughness can be achieved with super polishing.
  • 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.
  • Our precision Rhomboid Prisms feature a parallelogram geometry designed to alter an optical path without changing beam direction. These high-quality optical prisms are engineered to displace a laser beam laterally while maintaining its original alignment. Ideal for precision imaging systems, they shift the optical axis without inverting or reverting the image. Tight angular tolerances guarantee that the output beam remains perfectly parallel to the input beam within 30 arcseconds. Key Features:
    • High-precision lateral beam displacement.
    • Parallel input/output alignment within 30 arcseconds.
    • Shifts the optical axis without image inversion.
    • Optimized for demanding beam steering and displacement applications.
  • The mechanical properties of Sapphire include its great strength, thermal stability, wear resistance, and chemical inertness. As a result, a Sapphire Window outperforms other optical materials in severe conditions, acting as a shield between the elements. In optical and mechanical applications, sapphire windows are often used. Features
    • Chemical resistance due to its high surface hardness.
    • Transmits light at wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared.
    • Thinner and stronger than standard glass windows.
    • Available with anti-reflection coatings ranging from 400 to 5000nm
  • The high-precision Wedge Windows can avoid the etalon effect caused by the light reflected on the front and rear surfaces of the high-parallel Windows, and at the same time, it can also avoid interference with reflected beam, which causes power frustration and modes jumping.
  • Zinc Sulphide (ZnS) windows have a high transmission range of 8-14 microns in the infrared (IR). It offers a wide transmission range for visible and mid-wave or long-wave infrared sensors, making it the ideal material for thermal imaging. Features
    • Zinc Sulfide Substrate Multispectral Grade
    • Low Absorption and Scatter from 0.4 to 12m
    • Available uncoated or with an 8 to 12μm Broadband AR Coated Option
