Narrative:

During climb through approximately 35;000 ft; we heard what sounded like a compressor stall followed by a loss of power from the right engine. We were told that part of the exterior pane of the fourth window on the right side of the aircraft had departed the aircraft. We assumed that the pane was ingested into the right engine. There was no loss of pressurization and we decided not to attempt an engine restart due to probable FOD contamination. At this point we declared an emergency; executed all appropriate checklists and began a normal descent so as not to induce any additional stress on the remaining pane. We determined that the best destination given our descent rate and altitude was to return to departure airport. The flight distance allowed for us to continue our normal safe rate of descent at near idle power. We considered alternate destinations for our landing but determined that any alternate would have required the same amount of time to descend. We were vectored for a visual approach and landed uneventfully in good weather.
