Alkor Technologies - manufacturer of KBr optical components. Wir bieten an: KBr windows, Drilled KBr discs, KBr wedges, KBr beamsplitters and KBr blanks according to customer's specifications. Moisture protective coating (Parylene analog) can be applied on all KBr windows.
The largest diameter of KBr optics is 100mm. Please contact us for more information.
Please visit our KBr windows catalog.
KBr transmittance. Sample thickness 10mm.
Potassium Bromide is used for windows and prisms when transmission through the range 0.25µm to 26µm is desired. Potassium Bromide (KBr) is a material commonly used in FTIR spectroscopy (drilled discs). Potassium Bromide is water soluble and KBr windows must be protected against moisture degradation of polished surfaces.
Alkor provides special anti-moisture polymer coating - Parylene analog to protect KBr optics. KBr windows cleaves readily, and can be used at temperatures up to 300C. Irradiation of Potassium Bromide produces color centers.
Packing: All KBr optics carefully packaged into plastic boxes with silicagel and sealed with special moisture protective film.
