Sapphire Optical Windows are flat, optically transparent plates
that are typically designed to maximize transmission in a specified
wavelength range, while minimizing reflection and absorption. They
are often used to protect optical systems and electronic sensors
from an outside environment. Because windows introduce no optical
power into a system, windows should be selected based on the
material transmission properties, optical surface specifications,
and the mechanical properties that match your application.
