Custom Optical Borosilicate Windows

What are Borosilicate windows?

Borosilicate windows are common optical windows made from borosilicate glass.

They are well-known for excellent thermal resistance, chemical durability, and cost-effectiveness.

These windows have good transmission in the visible and near-infrared environments.

They are suitable for various scientific, industrial, and commercial optical applications.

Advantages of the windows

• Excellent Thermal Stability:

Borosilicate glass has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. It ensurs stable performance under rapid temperature changes.

• High Chemical Resistance:

Resistant to acids, solvents, and most harsh environments, which extends the window’s lifetime.

Resistant to chemical corrosion.

• Cost-Effective Material:

More economical compared to fused silica or sapphire windows while still providing reliable optical performance.

• Good Transmission:

Provides high transmittance in the visible and NIR wavelength range, suitable for general optical applications.

Applications of Borosilicate Windows

• Laser and Optical Systems

Used as protective windows in lasers, optical instruments, and imaging devices.

• Microscopy and Imaging

Make clearer optical paths for microscopes, cameras, and other imaging systems.

• Industrial and Laboratory Equipment

The Borosilicate windows are ideal for laboratory instruments, analytical devices, and process monitoring.

• Lighting and Display Technologies

High-temperature lighting systems, projection systems, and display devices.

• Protective Covers

Serves as durable protective covers for sensors, detectors, and mechanical systems exposed to harsh environments.
