KBr (Potassium Bromide) circular window/crystal 30.0mm x 5.0mm, 0.23-25μm
KBr (Potassium Bromide) is one of the most useful materials for general spectral windows and applications where humidity sensitivity is not a significant concern. KBr is the most commonly used spectral material in IR spectrophotometers. Potassium bromide is grown using the Kyropoulos technique. KBr is prone to cracking, but it can be polished to higher standards under humidity-controlled conditions.customer needs.
