Edmund Optics (EO), a provider of optical components, introduces its new TechSpec Precision Sapphire Windows. These windows are suitable for use in a wide variety of demanding applications, including imaging and spectroscopy, because they offer broadband transmission from 0.15 micrometres (µm) to 5.5μm.
With transmission from the ultraviolet (UV) to the mid-wave infrared (MWIR), TechSpec Precision Sapphire Windows also provide a ¼λ surface accuracy. According to the company, they utilise a high-tolerance design and take advantage of the innate characteristics of sapphire: a high dielectric constant, high thermal conductivity, extreme surface hardness and resistance to many chemical acids and alkali, which maximises system performance. With sapphire’s structural strength, TechSpec Precision Sapphire Windows are thinner than comparable standard glass windows, minimising absorption.
TechSpec Precision Sapphire Windows are available in four uncoated sizes: 10 millimetre (mm), 15mm, 20mm and 25mm diameters. All models provide ¼λ surface accuracy for precision performance. Edmund Optics TechSpec Precision Sapphire Windows are in stock and available for immediate delivery.
