The Parallel Windows are designed for applications in which angular deviation of the transmitted beam must be kept as small as possible. Misalignment errors are also minimized when the window is repeatedly inserted and removed.

The diameter tolerance is +0.0''/ -.010'' and the thickness tolerance is ±.010''. The surface figure is λ/40 @ 10.6um and the surface quality is 40/20 > 85%. The wedge is < 3 arc min and the CA Chamfer is .01'' - .03'' @ 45°.

Parallel Windows are similar to Plane Windows, but with parallel surfaces. They are well suited for applications in which angular deviation of the transmitted beam must be kept as small as possible.

Round, square, and rectangular windows are available in a wide range of size and shape specifications. Materials available include ZnSe, ZnS, Ge, Si, Cleartran, and Chalcogenide Glass.
