Typical Uses
The most basic use of a vacuum viewport is a window to view the interior of a sealed system. This application can assist you in monitoring the performance components in a vacuum. A more common application of hermetic viewports is to allow a wide spectrum of light to pass through in one or both directions.
Infrared and laser lights require a hermetic viewport to be transmitted through an otherwise sealed environment. A viewport plays a unique role in allowing a single type of light or wide spectrum light to send energy in and out of the hermetically sealed system. Here are a few industries where these components are commonly used:
- Defense industry
- Medical endoscopic fields
- Space industry
- Laser designation systems

Vacuum windows need to use specific materials to allow energy to pass through without compromising the structure of the chamber. These are the most common materials used by Complete Hermetics to create viewport windows:
