The MF-W-25.4x2 is a 25.4 mm diameter Flat Window, sourced from Alkor Technologies, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. This Window, designed for general-purpose use, is a circular component with a thickness of 2mm, making it a versatile option for various applications.
The Window is made of Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2), a material with the ID "magnes dod-1984-n-o" in the Alkor Technologies' catalog. MgF2 is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high transmission rate and resistance to environmental factors, making it suitable for use in a wide range of wavelengths. In this specific model, the Window is designed for use with a wavelength of 633nm.
The Window's shape is that of a Thin Lens, which is a simple lens that has a very small focal length compared to its diameter. This shape allows the Window to focus light without introducing significant spherical aberration.
Notably, this Window is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to optical components to enhance their performance, but an uncoated Window can be advantageous in certain situations. For instance, uncoated Windows can reduce reflection, making them ideal for applications where minimal light loss is crucial.
