Laser safety windows are precision-engineered optical barriers that allow safe viewing of active laser areas while protecting the surrounding environment.
Laser windows are manufactured using specialised materials that can effectively block or attenuate specific laser wavelengths while maintaining excellent visible light transmission. Their dual functionality makes them indispensable in many laser applications across industries.
Laser Windows for All Wavelengths
NoIR laser windows provide reliable protection against a wide range of laser wavelengths, from UV to far-infrared. Some windows offer broad protection across multiple regions, including UV, visible (VIS), and near-infrared (NIR).
Choosing the Right Laser Windows
When choosing laser safety windows, consider the following factors:
• Your laser’s wavelength, the required level of protection (Optical Density or OD), and the material. If you are unsure on the appropriate OD level, get in touch for assistance with this calculation
• The size of the area needing protection and whether you need standard or custom sizes
• CE certification – the selection of laser windows includes filters that that have been CE-certified
It is important to remember that laser safety windows do not replace laser safety eyewear. Your eyes should always be protected with well-fitting laser safety glasses appropriate for your application.
Our team are available to help you choose the right laser window for your facility and provide technical specifications, along with relevant certifications.
Environment Factors
NoIR laser windows are manufactured from premium-grade materials and designed to withstand challenging industrial environments. They utilise absorptive dyes that will not fade, photobleach or scratch off. Acrylic laser windows offer exceptional clarity and durability, are scratch-resistant and can be customised to meet specific requirements.
Laser windows are often placed in environments with temperature variations, high humidity levels, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress. These features can impact the performance and longevity of laser windows. NoIR products are made to keep their protective properties and optical clarity even under challenging conditions.
Safety Standards for NoIR Laser Windows
All NoIR laser windows comply with stringent safety standards and CE marking where applicable. These certifications verify that products meet or exceed industry safety requirements and provide peace of mind for operators and facility managers.
