Version Differences for Window Material Sources

Line 1:
    + This document lists some various Anti-Reflective Coating manufacturers that have either been used by Opticon or approved for use by Opticon in the United States.  
       
    + Suggested Window Properties:  
    + Property Description  
       
    + • Material: Clear cell-cast acrylic.  
    + • Spectral Transmission: 85% minimum at 400 - 700 nm.  
    + • Thickness: 0.059 ± 0.005  
    + • Wavefront Distortion (transmission): 0.2 wavelengths peak-to-valley maximum over any 0.08 in. diameter within the clear aperture.  
    + • Clear Aperture: To extend to within 0.04 in. of the edges all around.  
    + • Surface Quality: 60-20 scratch/dig minimum  
       
    + Window Coatings  
       
       
    + • Anti-reflection (A.R.) coatings: Apply these type coatings to achieve the maximum depth of field decoding range and to improve the possible pitch range of acceptable window angles and positions. A.R. coatings also have very poor abrasion and scratch resistance; making only single-side AR coating most practical (the AR coated side of the window typically faces the interior of the imager module).  
    + • Anti-scratch coatings: Apply Polysiloxane type coatings to plastic surfaces to improve the surface resistance to both scratch and abrasion.
