Laser Radar Windows are high-performance optical windows specifically designed for LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems. These windows provide a protective optical interface while ensuring exceptionally high transmission of the operating laser wavelength and minimal signal distortion.
LiDAR systems used in autonomous vehicles, mapping, navigation, and environmental monitoring rely on optical windows that maintain clarity, durability, and spectral accuracy. SOT’s laser radar windows are manufactured using advanced coating technologies to achieve excellent transmission at common LiDAR wavelengths—850 nm, 905 nm, 940 nm, and 1550 nm—while resisting abrasion, humidity, temperature cycling, and chemical exposure.
