Window Material
Almost any plastic material will
work as a window material.
Polycarbonate is recommended.
The surface finish of the plastic
should be smooth, without any
texture. An IR filter dye may be
used in the window to make it
look black to the eye, but the
total optical loss of the window
should be 10 percent or less for
best optical performance. Light
loss should be measured at 875
nm.
Shape of the Window
From an optics standpoint, the
window should be flat. This
Flat Window
(First choice)

ensures that the window will not
alter either the radiation pattern
of the LED, or the receive pattern
of the photodiode.
If the window must be curved for
mechanical or industrial design
reasons, place the same curve on
the back side of the window that
has an identical radius as the
front side. While this will not
completely eliminate the lens
effect of the front curved surface,
it will significantly reduce the
effects. The amount of change in
the radiation pattern is dependent
upon the material chosen for the
Curved Front and Back
(Second choice)
window, the radius of the front
and back curves, and the distance
from the back surface to the
transceiver. Once these items are
known, a lens design can be
made which will eliminate the
effect of the front surface curve.
The following drawings show the
effects of a curved window on the
radiation pattern. In all cases,
the center thickness of the
window is 1.5 mm, the window is
made of polycarbonate plastic,
and the distance from the
transceiver to the back surface of
the window is 3 mm.
