Optical windows and substrates from various materials. Custom size, shape and quality options. AR coating available. What is Optical Window? Optical windows are transparent, flat, parallel plates, made from transparent optical material. They are used as protective windows, substrates or mirror blanks. Applications often include sealing, separation (protection) of sensors, eyes, optical systems from environment or other light sources. How Optical Windows (substrates) are made? Optical window production starts from the design of it. Once material, dimensions, surface characteristics and other parameters are clear, the final drawing is drawn. Optical material is sliced, grided and polished as long as it takes to ensure that optical window is produced according to requirements. Finaly – optical metrology is conducted before stocking or sending these windows to customers. The main difference from Alien Photonics wedged windows is that these UV-VIS-NIR windows surfaces are (highly) parallel to each other. Optical windows for astronomical telescopes Optical windows allow clear transmission of celestial light, ensuring distortion-free observation of stars planets and other objects. Underwater camera windows Optical windows provide a waterproof seal that maintains visibility under water, crucial for underwater photography and research. Windows for environmental monitoring sensors Alien Photonics optical windows protect sensors from atmospheric conditions while allowing accurate environmental data collection in various monitoring devices.
