SO-W13 SERIES
SO-W13 UV fused silica Brewster windows provide low-reflection transmission for p-polarized light when installed at the specified Brewster angle.
Product Overview
Engineering Guidance
Their elliptical geometry presents the required clear aperture when tilted in the beam. The series is intended for polarization-sensitive laser cavities, spectroscopy, metrology and optical housings where coating-free reflection reduction is preferable.
Align the p-polarization direction and install the window at the stated design angle and wavelength. For non-polarized light or normal-incidence protection, an AR-coated plane window is usually the more appropriate choice.
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
