AR Windows
Anti-Reflection (AR) Window Filters
Anti-reflection (AR) window specialty filters minimize surface reflection on glass and other substrates. These filters are critical in optical systems for increasing light transmission and contrast while reducing glare and ghost images.
We carry high-efficiency AR windows to cover or seal your optical devices.
Features and Benefits of Our AR Window Specialty Filters
Our AR windows have a clear coating on both sides, reducing reflectance to less than 0.5% over a wide range. In addition, their high transmission helps improve readability by virtually eliminating back reflection.
Our AR windows are also highly durable. You can rely on them to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide reliable, long-lasting performance. They are also easy to clean using a mild soap solution.
Other benefits of our AR windows include the following:
- Easy assembly.
- Improved sensor performance.
- Clearer images with reduced stray light.
AR Window Applications
AR windows can be used for a range of applications and industries, including:
- Industrial displays
- Optical devices
- Avionics
- Sealed sensors
- Photodetectors
- Machine vision
- Defense
- Telecommunications
- Scientific instrumentation
Integrated Solutions for AR Windows
AR windows are often matched or combined with other filter types to optimize performance. For example, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) design often combines multiple coatings into one optic to enhance the device’s size, weight, or capabilities. Some complementary filters for AR windows include:
- Bandpass filters: These filters provide select wavelengths for trimming detection and source signals, improving signal-to-noise ratios in single- and multi-wavelength photodetectors.
- UV-IR (ultraviolet-infrared) filters: These filters transmit visible colors while suppressing harmful near-infrared and ultraviolet light.
- NIR (near-infrared) filters: These filters block near-infrared wavelengths to improve contrast in the visible light range, making them ideal for sensors sensitive to near-infrared light.
- Solderable coating: A patterned solderable coating frame can provide a sealing joint and an aperture in one AR window.
- Patterned apertures: These coatings are patterned around the sensor’s active area to prevent signal disturbances and protect against light radiation.
- Custom Solutions for AR Windows
We specialize in optical filter customization. Salvo Technologies manufactures custom AR window solutions for your device, matching your unique angle, wavelength, and package requirements. We can also design multilayer AR coatings to cover single or multiple laser lines and ranges.
Moreover, we deliver your optics in the precise shape, size, and substrate you need for your application. We’ll work with you to find the best solutions, whatever your filter requirements.
