The PW1-1008-UV is a high-quality optical window from CVI Laser Optics, designed for use in laser systems and other applications where optical clarity and durability are paramount. This circular window has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The window is made from UVFS, a material with a high damage threshold and excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This makes it ideal for use in UV laser systems, where high transmission and resistance to laser damage are essential. The material is identified as "UVFS mal- 1965" in the manufacturer's catalog.
The window is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This can be advantageous in some applications, as it reduces the risk of coating damage and simplifies cleaning and maintenance. However, it may result in higher reflective losses, which could be a consideration in high-power or high-sensitivity applications.
The window is classified as a flat window, which means it has a flat, parallel-sided geometry. This is in contrast to curved or aspheric windows, which have non-parallel surfaces designed to correct optical aberrations. Flat windows are simpler and more cost-effective, making them a popular choice for many applications.
The window is available from CVI Laser Optics, a leading vendor of optical components. According to the vendor's website, the window is in stock and ready for immediate shipment. Further information about the window, including detailed specifications and performance data, can be found in the vendor's catalog, which is available for download from their website.
