Product Overview

Specify UV Fused Silica Dome Window by aperture, surface accuracy and mounting

This material is the stronger dome choice when UV response, low fluorescence or temperature stability is important. The curved profile accommodates a broad viewing envelope, but its diameter, height and wall thickness remain part of the optical design rather than only the enclosure design.

Place the internal lens or detector with respect to the dome center and verify housing clearance. For quantitative imaging, review distortion, concentricity and transmitted wavefront requirements.

Choose the window around transmitted wavefront and environment

Performance considerations

This material is the stronger dome choice when UV response, low fluorescence or temperature stability is important. The curved profile accommodates a broad viewing envelope, but its diameter, height and wall thickness remain part of the optical design rather than only the enclosure design.

Selection and mounting

Place the internal lens or detector with respect to the dome center and verify housing clearance. For quantitative imaging, review distortion, concentricity and transmitted wavefront requirements.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

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