25.4mm Dia., 4mm Thick, 30' Wedge, BBAR (2000-5000nm) Coated, ISP Optics Calcium Fluoride (CaF₂) Wedged Window

Anti-reflection (AR) coatings are applied to optical components to increase throughput and reduce hazards caused by back-reflections.

Optical coatings are used to influence the transmission, reflection, or polarization properties of an optical component.

Optical Engineer Andrew Fisher explains how you can see the "invisible" light, or infrared light, from your own TV remote.

Determine how to select an optical window based on its material transmission, thermal and mechanical properties, and other specifications at Edmund Optics.

Optical Windows provide protection between an optical system or sensitive electronics and an outside environment.

Meniscus lenses offer superior performance compared to plano convex lenses in IR applications. Find out the benefits of using a meniscus lens at Edmund Optics.

Using an Infrared Application? Discover the importance of choosing the right material and comparisons of each at Edmund Optics.

UV grade fused silica is ideal for UV and visible applications, but IR grade fused silica has better transmission in the IR due to a lack of OH- impurities.
