Sodium chloride (NaCl) crystal is a material commonly used in FTIR spectroscopy. It is also a relatively low cost cubic crystal material with excellent transmission between 250nm-16μm. In such a large transmission range, the refractive index is between 1.4-1.6. Sodium chloride windows are sensitive to thermal shock, but can be used at temperatures up to 400 °C. Its density is 2.17 g/cm3 and Knoop hardness is 18.2. It is hygroscopic, so the substrate must not contain any moisture. NaCl window is one of the most useful materials in general-purpose spectral windows and applications that have no significant effect on moisture sensitivity.
 
We can customize different size and thickness of Sodium Chloride(NaCl) optical window upon requirements, such as Sodium Chloride(NaCl) round wafer, Square substrate and Cylinder, or Punch holes and other shapes.
