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
- High-Energy Radiation Resistant
- Transmission is excellent between 200nm - 12μm.
- Provide high transmission without the use of AR coatings.

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.

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.

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
