GE-W-13x2 13 mm Dia. Germanium Flat Window; t=2mm Uncoated

The GE-W-13x2 is a circular, flat germanium window with a diameter of 13 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. This window, sourced from Alkor Technologies, is a type of optical element often used to provide a physical barrier between two optical systems while minimizing signal loss and optical distortion.

The window's base shape is flat, which helps to prevent optical aberrations that can occur with curved surfaces. The geometry of the window, including its diameter and thickness, is designed to balance between providing sufficient structural integrity and minimizing weight and signal loss.

The material of the window is germanium, specifically germanium burnett. Germanium is a popular choice for optical windows due to its high refractive index and transparency in the infrared region of the spectrum. This makes it ideal for applications such as thermal imaging, fiber optics, and infrared spectroscopy.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can be used to enhance the performance of optical windows, such as by reducing reflection or increasing transmission, an uncoated window can be a simpler and more cost-effective solution depending on the specific application.
