Borofloat® optical windows are manufactured from high‑purity borosilicate glass, offering excellent optical transmission, low thermal expansion, and high resistance to thermal shock. Produced using a precision float glass manufacturing process, Borofloat® delivers exceptional surface flatness and uniform thickness, helping to minimise optical distortion. These windows provide reliable protection for sensitive optical components across the visible and near‑infrared spectrum.
- Visible to NIR transmission
