High-Precision CaF₂ Window for UV and Broadband Optics
Description
The High-Precision CaF₂ (Calcium Fluoride) Window is a superior optical component designed for UV and broadband optical applications. Manufactured from high-quality CaF₂ material, these windows are highly transparent across a wide range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR), making them ideal for demanding optical systems. With custom diameters available up to 320 mm and thicknesses up to 50 mm, these windows offer flexibility in a variety of applications, including spectroscopy, laser systems, and optical imaging.
The windows are available in different crystallographic orientations (<100>, <111>, <110>) to suit specific optical requirements. Precision-polished to achieve surface flatness as high as Lambda/10, they ensure minimal distortion and excellent optical performance. Whether for research labs, laser applications, or advanced optical systems, these CaF₂ windows deliver consistent performance and durability.
