The LW-1-2037-C is a large laser grade wedge window, boasting a diameter of 50.8 mm and a thickness of 9.53 mm. This window is sourced from CVI Laser Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical elements.
The window is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. N-BK7 is widely used in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and accuracy, such as laser systems and optical metrology.
The wedge angle of this window is 0.017453292519943295 radians, or approximately 1 degree. This wedge shape is designed to prevent internal reflections and ghost images, which can occur when light passes through an optical surface multiple times. By redirecting these reflections, the wedge shape improves the overall efficiency and clarity of the optical system.
This window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance the performance of an optical element by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or altering dispersion, they can also add complexity and cost to the manufacturing process. An uncoated window is a simple, cost-effective solution for applications that do not require these additional enhancements.
