The BF-W-63.5-8 is a flat window type optical element with a diameter of 63.5 mm and a thickness of 6 mm. This component is sourced from Alkor Technologies, a reputable vendor in the optical industry. The window is made of BaF2, a material with the Material ID 'baf2 cgdm'.
The BaF2 material is known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the spectrum. This makes the BF-W-63.5-8 particularly suitable for applications that require broadband transmission, such as laser systems, optical spectroscopy, and astronomical observations.
The window features a thin lens shape, which is designed to minimize optical aberrations and distortions. However, it is important to note that this window does not have any coatings. This means that it does not have any anti-reflective or protective coatings, which could be a consideration for certain applications.
The BF-W-63.5-8 is currently in stock and available for purchase. For more information, you can refer to the vendor's website at http://www.alkor.net/BaF2_windows_catalog.html.
