The 34-244 is a 12.5 mm diameter N-BK7 Wedged Window with a thickness of 3 mm and no coating. This window is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor in the optical industry. The window features a base shape of a circle and a wedge shape, making it suitable for specific applications that require angled optical surfaces.
The N-BK7 material, also known as borosilicate glass, is a popular choice in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and durability. It has a refractive index of approximately 1.5168 at a wavelength of 633 nm, making it ideal for use in a wide range of applications.
The wedge angle of this window is 0.008726646259971648 radians, or approximately 0.5 degrees. This angle is precisely controlled during the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired, or where cost is a concern. However, it's important to note that uncoated windows may have higher reflectivity and may not perform as well in high-precision applications compared to coated windows.
