Potassium Bromide(KBr) is the most commonly used spectrophotometer for IR spectrophotometers. It is commonly used in FTIR spectroscopy. Potassium Bromide window has a larger spectral band range than Sodium Chloride window, and has excellent transmission between 250nm-26μm. Within this range, its refractive index is between 1.46-1.59. Potassium Bromide is water-soluble, so its surface should not be in contact with moisture. Potassium Bromide windows have good resistance to mechanical shock and can be used at high temperatures of 300 °C. KBr window is one of the most useful materials for general purpose spectral windows and applications that have no significant effect on humidity sensitivity. 
 
We can customize different size and thickness of Potassium Bromide(KBr) optical window upon requirements, such as Potassium Bromide(KBr) round wafer, Square substrate and Cylinder, or Punch holes and other shapes.
