OPTICAL WINDOWS AND FLATS
Description
G&H deliver high performance optical windows and flats across a wide range of applications. From small precsion optical flats for interferometry applications, to large windows installed in military vehicles, our components are custom designed to deliver performance and value. Optical windows are a critical component in a variety of applications which require minimal optical impact with maximum mechanical separation between two environments. Ideally, the window has minimal impact upon the beam transmission properties: does not reflect, absorb, or scatter the beam; does not distort or impact the wavefront; does not bend or deviate the beam path.
The mechanical separation may require thermal, chemical, or environmental tolerance. Careful material selection and coating design is often required to achieve all of the mechanical separation as well as the optical needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Optical windows and flats are components used in a variety of applications that require minimal optical impact with maximum mechanical separation between two environments.
Some applications that use optical windows and flats include biomedical instrumentation, corrosive chemistry, directed energy applications, industrial instrumentation, IR imaging, laser cavities, machine vision, and multiphoton imaging.
High-quality optical windows from G&H demonstrate very high parallelism, supremely low surface roughness, low transmitted and reflected wavefront errors, and are optically transparent at the operational wavelength range.
The ideal optical window has minimal impact upon the beam transmission properties, does not reflect, absorb, or scatter the beam, does not distort or impact the wavefront, and does not bend or deviate the beam path.
Material selection and coating design are carefully considered to achieve both the mechanical separation and optical needs of the application. Factors such as environmental tolerance, thermal and chemical resistance, and operational wavelength range are taken into account.
