Product Variants of Hermetic Windows and Lens Caps
Hermetic lens caps
Typically used for collimation and point-to-point imaging applications that transmit and receive signals at extremely high levels of precision, hermetic lens caps deliver optimum light efficiency. SCHOTT offers a broad range of standard caps with high quality convex (plano and biconvex) optical glass. In addition, we can draw upon our in-house expertise to provide customized glass types to suit unique customer requirements relating to specifications such as refractive indices and ball lens diameters.
APPLICATIONS
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Fibre Channel
- FTTx-BiDi/Triplexer
- Other TOSA and ROSA designs
- LED
- Laser diode packaging
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Customizable lens and metal materials, sizes, shapes, coatings (AR or UV) and height tolerance.
- 180o light emission possible with full glass lens cap.
- All products are RoHS-compliant.
Hermetic windows and window caps
SCHOTT offers a broad range of standard and custom high-precision hermetic windows and window caps that provide the highest levels of light transmission, further enhanced through AR coatings and optical glass discs. Our portfolio includes a broad variety of formats (round or rectangular), flat or angled window configurations, special coatings, and different window frame or cap geometries ranging from ultra-miniature to large dimensions.
APPLICATIONS
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Fibre Channel
- FTTx-BiDi/Triplexer
- Other TOSA and ROSA designs
- LED
- Optical sensor
- LiDAR
- Aerospace
- Defense
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Fully customizable, with a range of options including size, shape (round or rectangular), flat windows, angled windows, and choice of metal material.
- The products can be supplied with special optical coatings to increase light transmission.
- All products are RoHS-compliant.
SCHOTT® LightView packages
Specially developed for the emerging technology of augmented reality, SCHOTT® LightView glass-to-metal packaging solutions protect sensitive RGB laser and MEMS mirror components, and can improve the form factor and opto-electronic performance of AR devices at the same time.
CHARACTERISTICS
While the SCHOTT® LightView RGB laser variant enables high brightness and image resolution through the protection of RGB laser chips, the SCHOTT® LightView MEMS mirror package delivers a wider scanning angle and lower power consumption. Both provide highly effective packaging for sensitive components, as well as exceptional optical properties.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Enable 3x form factor reduction compared to individual TO cans through SMD approach and integrated form factor.
- SCHOTT’s in-house optical glass provides excellent optical performance, with the option of an AR coating.
- Highly customized design options include a range of sizes, pin numbers, materials, and geometry.
- The use of inorganic materials results in a very long product lifetime.
- Both packages offer options for exceptional thermal conductivity of more than 40 W/mK.
