Product Details

  • Ultra-Thin 0.20mm Thickness
  • Precision N-BK7 Substrate
  • Extremely Lightweight

TECHSPEC® Ultra-Thin N-BK7 Windows are our thinnest windows available and are at least 1/10 the thickness of our traditional N-BK7 windows. Their extremely thin designs make them ideal for both weight and size-sensitive applications. Additionally, their high tolerance design yields minimal beam distortion and scatter. TECHSPEC® Ultra-Thin N-BK7 Windows are available uncoated or with a MgF2 anti-reflection coating. For custom sizes or coating options, please contact our Sales Department.

Note: The Ultra-Thin N-BK7 Windows are very fragile. Handle these windows with care.

I need a window for imaging underwater. The water is filtered and at room temperature with a very small amount of detergent in it. It is flowing at low speed. Will a MgF2 coated window survive this for a few years?
