Dome Windows
Compare K9 GWH16 and UV fused silica GWH26 dome windows. Unlike a plane window, a dome has curved geometry that must be matched to the optical and mechanical layout. Start with the profile and mounting opening before reviewing material and surface requirements.
Choosing Dome Windows
- Check the inner and outer geometry, thickness and mounting edge against a drawing of the enclosure.
- State the wavelength band and required clear aperture over the actual field of view.
- If sealing or pressure performance is needed, specify the complete assembly conditions for review; a dome shape alone is not an enclosure rating.
