Precision optical window

Product Information Windows & substrates of the highest precision Substrates are components (plano-plano parallel polished components, lenses, prisms, filters, etc.) made of different materials that serve as the base to be coated to produce products like beamsplitters, mirrors, and windows, for example. Windows are transparent, mostly plano-plano parallel polished and/or coated components that are used in optical systems to achieve highly-efficient, distortion-free light and perfect image transmission. Examples of Products: • Plano parallel windows • Protective windows • Laser line windows that feature an antireflective coating • Optical flats • Substrates for microlithography • Brewster or elliptical windows Advantages • SCHOTT masters the entire value chain and leverages its reliable product portfolio to produce customized windows & substrates • Custom designed products of the highest quality • Flexible production – from a single piece to serial production • Customized coatings • Extensive expertise in gluing, cementing and sub-assembling to integrate the windows into custom designed hardware • Customized polishing available (double- or single-sided) Technical Details • Materials Used • Optical glasses • Technical glasses • Filter glasses • Fused silica • ZERODUR® extremely low expansion glass ceramic • Sapphire and other crystals
