AL-W-12.7-0.5 12.7 mm Dia. Sapphire Flat Window; t=1mm Uncoated

The AL-W-12.7-0.5 is a 12.7 mm diameter Sapphire Flat Window, with a thickness of 1mm, sourced from Alkor Technologies. This window is a type of optical element, specifically designed for use in various optical systems where transparency and durability are paramount.

The window is made from Sapphire, a material with the chemical formula Al2O3, also known as alumina or corundum. Sapphire is a highly durable material, known for its hardness, second only to diamond on the Mohs scale. This hardness makes it resistant to scratches and abrasions, ensuring a clear view even in harsh environments.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of sapphire are desired, such as its high transparency to visible light and its resistance to environmental factors like temperature and humidity changes.

The window is circular in base shape, making it suitable for use in a wide range of optical systems. The geometry of the window is defined by its diameter and thickness. With a diameter of 12.7 mm and a thickness of 1mm, this window is thin and lightweight, making it easy to integrate into various optical systems.

The window is designed for use at a wavelength of 633 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications where visibility is important, such as in imaging systems, optical metrology, and beam delivery systems.
