The BF-W-32x3 is a 32 mm diameter Flat Window made from BaF2 (Barium Fluoride) material, sourced from Alkor Technologies. This window features a thickness of 3mm and is uncoated, making it suitable for various optical applications.
The BaF2 material, with a Material ID of 'baf2 cgdm', is known for its excellent transmission properties, particularly in the ultraviolet and infrared regions of the spectrum. This makes the BF-W-32x3 an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission in these wavelength ranges.
The window's geometry is defined by its diameter and thickness. With a diameter of 32 mm, it provides a generous aperture for light transmission. The 3mm thickness, on the other hand, offers sufficient mechanical strength while minimizing optical distortions.
The BF-W-32x3 is designed in a Thin Lens shape, which is a simple, single-element optical system. This shape is often used in applications where minimal optical power and low aberrations are required.
Please note that the window is uncoated. While this can be advantageous in certain applications, it may also lead to unwanted reflections and reduced transmission at specific wavelengths. Therefore, the user should consider the specific requirements of their application before deciding on coating options.
