What are you guys using for windows?

[absolom7691]

Since I am using single-mode DI diode builds, I don't want to waste any of those precious milliwatts. That said, what are you guys using for AR windows on your projectors? I was looking into these: http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/w...-windows/48925 and was wondering if anyone had any feedback. Should I even worry about AR? Are there any better than these?

Thanks.

I wouldn't use anything else other than Edmund optics ar windows.

Not cheap but the best quality you can get

Awesome. Thanks, Andy.

Yep, I put Edmunds optics AR glass on all my projectors now. Don't put them down once the film is removed, you'll lose them! Eerily invisible!

Thanks for the help guys. I wanted get some testimonials before I spend $50 on some glass.

Thats the first thing I thought of.

Its coated for 425-700nm. Does that mean it wont pass 405? I liek my purples.

It'll pass it but it will reflect about 5% of it I would think.

Efficiency curve from Edmund-O :


You can ask them a special coating, but the price will be greatly higher.
