This 11-224 optical window, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a 38.1 mm diameter, 6.35 mm thick component designed for use with 266nm wavelength light. Its primary function is to provide a clear, unobstructed path for light to travel through, while minimizing reflections and maintaining optical integrity.
The window is made from UVFS material, specifically identified as UVFS MAL-1965, which is well-suited for applications in the ultraviolet spectrum. This material is known for its excellent transparency and low absorption at 266nm, making it an ideal choice for laser line applications.
The window features an Ultra V-Coat 266nm coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce reflections to an ultra-low level, enhancing the performance and efficiency of the system. The coating ensures that the majority of the light passing through the window does so without being reflected, which is crucial in high-precision optical systems.
The window's geometry is that of a flat window, which is the simplest and most common type of optical window. It has no curvature, which makes it easy to install and align in optical systems. The window's thin lens shape further simplifies its integration into optical systems.
