Window Coatings
Table 2-4 on page 2-14 lists some exit window manufacturers and anti-reflection coaters.
Anti-Reflection Coatings
Apply an anti-reflection coating to the inside and/or outside of the window to significantly reduce the amount of light
reflected off the window, back into the scan engine. The coating can also improve the range of acceptable window
positions and minimize performance degradation due to signal loss as the light passes through the window. Using
anti-reflection coatings on both the inside and outside of the window is highly recommended.
Polysiloxane Coating
Polysiloxane type coatings are applied to plastic surfaces to improve the surface resistance to both scratch and
abrasion. They are usually applied by dipping, then air-drying in an oven with filtered hot air.
