34-602 50 mm Dia. UVFS Round Protective Flat Window; t=6 mm Uncoated

The 34-602 is a 50 mm diameter flat window made from UVFS material with a thickness of 6 mm. This protective window is sourced from Edmund Optics and is currently in stock. The item's web link is valid, directing users to a detailed product page for further information.

As a window, this component is designed to protect optical systems from environmental hazards while minimally affecting the light path. This particular model is circular in shape, a common design for ease of integration into various setups.

The UVFS material, also known as UV-grade fused silica, is a high-purity form of fused quartz. It is characterized by its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high transmission in the ultraviolet region, making it ideal for applications that require excellent transparency in this spectrum.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where maintaining the native properties of the UVFS material is crucial. However, it may also mean that the window is more susceptible to environmental factors such as dirt, dust, or moisture, so it may require more frequent cleaning or handling precautions.

The window's geometry is defined by its diameter and thickness. With a diameter of 50 mm, it provides a substantial aperture for light to pass through. The thickness of 6 mm ensures structural rigidity while minimizing optical distortions.

Please note that the window is designed to be used as a thin lens, meaning it has minimal optical power and is primarily used to redirect or protect optical paths rather than focus or manipulate light.
