Description
Potassium Bromide (KBr) windows are high-performance optical components widely used in infrared (IR) spectroscopy and opticalsystems. Featuring a broad transparent range in the mid-to-far IR spectrum, they deliver excellent transmittance with minimaloptical absorption, ensuring clear signal detection for IR analysis.With high chemical stability (excluding moisture sensitivity) and low refractive index dispersion, KBr windows offer superior optical homogeneity and flatness, avoiding unwanted light scattering or distortion. Machined with precision polishing, they provide smooth optical surfaces for optimal beam transmission, and are compatible with standard mounting designs for easy integration into spectrometers, FTIR systems and IR imaging setups.
