Product Overview

Specify UV Fused Silica High-Precision Wedge Window by aperture, surface accuracy and mounting

Fused silica extends the useful material choice into UV-visible systems and offers better thermal stability and lower fluorescence than K9. Uncoated and UV, VIS, NIR and SWIR AR-coated models support spectroscopy, fluorescence instruments, laser enclosures and detector windows.

Include the wedge direction in the mechanical drawing so the rejected reflection exits toward a controlled location. Select coating by wavelength and verify wedge angle, transmitted wavefront and clear aperture for sensitive beam paths.

Performance considerations

Fused silica extends the useful material choice into UV-visible systems and offers better thermal stability and lower fluorescence than K9. Uncoated and UV, VIS, NIR and SWIR AR-coated models support spectroscopy, fluorescence instruments, laser enclosures and detector windows.

Selection and mounting

Include the wedge direction in the mechanical drawing so the rejected reflection exits toward a controlled location. Select coating by wavelength and verify wedge angle, transmitted wavefront and clear aperture for sensitive beam paths.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
