Vacuum Viewports and Optical Viewports
There are a wide range of applications from simple visual measurement to precise optical measurements. Many applications also require the targeted introduction of electromagnetic waves in the form of laser waves or light from the outside into the vacuum or vice versa. These applications are when Vacuum Viewports and Optical Viewports are required.
Vacuum Viewports and Optical Viewports
Vacuum viewports are necessary to observe inside a vacuum chamber.

Design of Vacuum Viewports
You will need to consider the following aspects to enable our team to choose the correct flange and material for your application:
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Corrosion Resistance
- Electrical and magnetic properties
Materials
There are a variety of coatings to enhance performance in CF, ISO or KF formats.
Standard viewports are made of borosilicate. This allows easy observation or illumination of the inside of the vacuum chamber. This in turn ensures reliable monitoring of the performance and function of the entire vacuum system.
Optical viewports are made in various materials such as: sapphire, fused silica, zinc selenide, magnesium fluoride, calcium fluoride, germanium and quartz crystal. The optical application will determine the desired spectral range and consequently the optical material required.
Optical Viewport Types:
- CF Optical Viewport
- ISO-K Optical Viewport
- KF Optical Viewport
Viewport Types:
- CF Viewport
- ISO-K Viewport
- KF Viewport
