    Abstract: A window for a sensing system is provided that includes: a substrate comprising an outer and an inner primary surface; an outer layered film disposed on the outer primary surface; and an inner layered film disposed on the inner primary surface. Each of the outer and inner layered films comprises alternating high index and low index layers. The outer layered film comprises a scratch resistant layer having a thickness from about 0.5 μm to about 10 μm, and exhibits a hardness of at least 11 GPa, as measured with a Berkovich Indenter Hardness Test. The window exhibits an average transmittance of greater than 85% within ±25 nm of at least one wavelength within the infrared spectrum from 900 nm to 1600 nm and an average transmittance of less than 5% in the visible spectrum from 420 nm to 650 nm, each at an angle of incidence
