Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose BaF₂ for infrared temperature measurement windows?
BaF₂ provides a much wider transmission range than conventional glass and remains highly transparent in the 8–12 µm infrared band, which is critical for accurate thermal measurement and imaging.
Why are infrared windows important for electrical equipment inspection?
They enable safe thermal inspection of live components without opening enclosures or shutting down equipment.
Which infrared wavelength range is typically required for temperature measurement?
Most infrared temperature measurement systems operate in the mid-wave and long-wave infrared ranges, especially 8–12 µm.
Can UM Optics customize infrared temperature measurement windows according to the requirements?
Yes,of course.UM Optics can custom infrared temperature measurement windows of different sizes.
