Glass window

Optical glass window

 

Optical glass used in a variety of visible and short-wave infrared applications, and its advantages over other similar glasses are mainly reflected in the following aspects: high performance, low cost, good material consistency, high homogeneity of refractive index, low stress birefringence, low bubbles and streakiness.

glass window is one of the basic optical components in optics, usually used as a protective window for electronic sensors or detectors of the external environment. It is used to separate the two sides of the environment, such as separating the inside of the instrument from the outside, so that the inside and outside of the instrument are isolated from each other, thus protecting the internal devices. And it’s often used in optical instruments,laser optical systems, Industrial manufacturing, such as telescope, microscope, scope etc.

Our Company can provide round ,square and rectangular glass window with dimension from 2-600mm and thicknesses from 0.12-100mm (accuracy up to 20-10, 1/10L@633nm),coating AR, BBAR, AF or upon request.
