Gasonics AWO-1-1 Optical Viewport
Introduction:
The Gasonics AWO-1-1 is the base or smallest configuration in the AWO viewport series. It provides a fundamental optical access port for vacuum chambers. This component is essential for basic visual inspection and simple optical sensor integration.
Technical Specifications:
- Type: Vacuum Optical Window
- Material: Borosilicate Glass or Fused Silica
Detailed content
- Diameter/Size: Minimum standard size (e.g., 1 inch or 25mm)
- Vacuum Compatibility: 1 x 10^-8 Torr
- Seal: Elastomer (Viton) or Metal (Copper)
- Operating Temp: -20°C to +150°C (Elastomer) / +450°C (Metal seal)
Functional Features:
- Basic Optical Access: Provides a simple, cost-effective way to view the chamber interior.
- Standardized Interface: Fits common flange patterns for easy retrofitting.
- Replaceable Seal: Elastomer seals can be easily replaced during maintenance.
- Visual Indicator: Allows quick “go/no-go” visual checks of plasma ignition.
Application Scenarios:
- Routine Inspection: Standard viewports on load locks and transfer chambers.
- Pilot Lights: Housing for chamber status lights.
- Simple Sensors: Mounting point for basic photodiodes or fiber optics.
- Educational/R&D Tools: Used in training equipment or research reactors.
