Product Family Description

  • Available Uncoated or BBAR Coated for UV, Visible, and NIR
  • Ideal for Imaging Applications
  • Circular and Rectangular Sizes from 5 to 200mm
  • or λ/10 UV Fused Silica Windows Also Available

TECHSPEC® λ/4 UV Fused Silica Windows are manufactured with 40-20 surface quality and λ/4 transmitted wavefront error specifications, making them ideal for imaging applications. Featuring UV fused silica substrates, these windows provide high transmission from the ultraviolet (UV) through the visible and near-infrared (NIR). Broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating options are available to minimize reflection losses and increase transmission. TECHSPEC λ/4 UV Fused Silica Windows are used in optical imaging applications, in low to medium powered laser applications, and as protective windows, especially in applications requiring transmission of UV light.
