    IR Windows is an optical window that can transmit ultraviolet, visible light and infrared light. Due to its special material, it has the advantages of infrared transmittance, electric insulation, corrosion resistance and intrinsic safety, etc. It is especially suitable for installation on high-voltage switchgear. Easily realize the switchgear infrared imaging temperature measurement, solve the high voltage switchgear contacts overheating hidden danger.



Features:

-Transmits infrared, ultraviolet and visible light
-Electricity detection of contact temperature
-Sealed to IP67 standard
-Passed the switchgear arc-firing explosion-proof test
-Fast retrofit installation
-Low switchgear retrofit installation costs
-Large measuring range
-No special maintenance required

MgF2 Windows  Magesium Flouride is transparent over a extremely wide range of wavelengths .windows, lenses ,and prisms made of this materials can be used over the entire range of wavelengths from 0.12μm(vacuum ultraviolet ) to 8.0μm (infrared).

CaF2 Windows(Calcium Fluoride ) is transparent from the UV to the IR (180 nm - 8.0 µm). It has a refractive index of 1.428 at 1.064 µm and is mechanically and environmentally stable. CaF2 is ideal for any demanding applications where its high damage threshold, low fluorescence, and high homogeneity are beneficial. It is popular in excimer laser applications and frequently used in spectroscopy and cooled thermal imaging.

Si Windows Single crystal silicon as an infrared material have a good performance during the IR wavelength from 2um-8um.But this material also can be used in 8-14um.

Silicon window with coating in different wavelength


LiF  Windows   (lithium fluoride crystal)is an optical infrared cystal which transmit from 0.10 to 7µm.

BaF2 Windows  BaF2's transmittance at 200nm is relatively low (0.60), but at 500nm it goes up to 0.96-0.97 and stays at that level until 9μm,then it starts falling off (0.85 for 10μm and 0.42 for 12μm). The refractive index is about 1.46 from 700nm to 5μm. Barium Flouride is used as a preopacifying agent and in enamel and glazing frits production. It is also used in metallurgy, as molten bath for refining aluminum.

Germanium Windows
Germanium windows are ideal for IR applications at a broad range of wavelengths, including use in lower power CO2 lasers. Germanium also has low dispersion, Ge Windows 3 - 5μm for mid-infrared applications, 3 - 12μm for broadband multispectral applications, or 8 - 12μm for thermal imaging applications. The left graft is for 3-5um DLC+AR coating transmittance curve, scratch resistance. BBAR or AR coating is also available.
