Optical windows. IR, UV windows. High Precision Optical Windows. Demountable cell windows.

Alkor Technologies - manufacturer of custom UV and IR optical windows made of different optical materials: CaF2, BaF2, Germanium, Silicon, KBr, ZnSe, Fused Silica, BK7 and more. Custom size round, square, rectangular windows, Brewster windows and demountable cell windows are available upon request. Optical Windows are flat, plane-parallel plates that are often used as protective barriers for electronic sensors or detectors from outside environments. Optical Windows should be selected based on the material transmission or mechanical properties of the substrate.

In addition, we offer a variety of infrared and ultraviolet coatings on optical windows. Please refer to coating page for more information.

Contact our Sales Team for pricing for any custom size and coatings requirements.
