CM4060 Transparent Spinel Spherical Window

Transparent Spinel Spherical Window Descriptions:

Transparent spinel (transparent magnesium-aluminium ceramic) has multiple applications in optics, electronics, and structural components.

Transparent spinel can be used to manufacture windows and lenses for visible to mid-infrared light. The theoretical transmittance of wavelengths from 3 to 5 µm is 87%, which is comparable to ALON and sapphire, with slightly longer cutoff wavelengths, particularly beneficial for the performance of imaging systems in the mid-infrared range.

The properties of transparent ceramic spinel and aluminium oxide are comparable. It is suitable for various circuit components, including thick-film circuits, thin-film circuits, carriers for integrated circuits and chip packaging, as well as other high-performance substrate materials.

Features of Transparent Spinel Spherical Windows:

Transparent spinel windows offer several advantages:

- No scratches under harsh conditions;

- Thickness can be reduced by more than 60% under equivalent protection requirements, effectively decreasing weight;

- Protection can be enhanced at the same thickness.

Consequently, they can be employed in various high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments for equipment observation windows, gas detector windows, high-temperature boiler water level indicators, pressure equipment observation windows, commercial barcode scanner windows, borehole detection sensors, low-voltage and high-frequency capacitors, and all types of protective eyewear.

Applications of Transparent Spinel Spherical Windows:

- Spherical optical windows, lenses, prisms

Spherical Transparent Spinel Window Packaging:

The spherical transparent spinel windows from Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) undergo careful handling to minimise damage during storage and transportation, preserving the quality of our products in their original condition.

FAQs about Transparent Spinel Spherical Windows

Q1: What is a spherical window made of transparent spinel?

A spherical window made of transparent spinel is a curved, dome-shaped optical component manufactured from magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl₂O₄). Spinel is noted for its exceptional optical clarity, hardness, and durability, making it suitable for demanding applications where a spherical shape is essential for optical performance.

Q2: What sizes and shapes are available for transparent spinel spherical windows?

Transparent spherical spinel windows are available in various diameters and thicknesses to meet different application requirements. Custom sizes and shapes can also be produced to satisfy specific demands.

Q3: What precautions should be taken when using transparent spinel spherical windows?

Handling: Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage. Use gloves to prevent contamination.

Cleaning: Avoid abrasive cleaning agents and materials that could scratch the surface.
