36-566 10 mm Dia. AR Coated Sapphire Protective Flat Window; t=1 mm NIR II 750-1550nm

This product is a 10 mm diameter, 1 mm thick Sapphire Flat Window, offered by Edmund Optics. It is designed for use in the Near-Infrared II (NIR II) spectrum, specifically catering to wavelengths between 750 and 1550 nanometers.

The window is made from Sapphire, a material with the chemical formula Al2O3, and is known for its exceptional hardness, making it highly resistant to scratches and abrasions. Sapphire also boasts a high melting point, excellent thermal shock resistance, and is transparent across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum, making it an ideal choice for optical applications.

The window features Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings on both the front and back surfaces. These coatings are designed according to Edmund Optics' standard NIR-II curve, which is specifically tailored for use in the NIR II spectrum. The AR coatings help to minimize surface reflections, thereby improving transmission and reducing stray light.

The window is shaped as a thin lens, which can be beneficial in certain optical systems by reducing the overall weight and thickness of the system. Despite its thinness, the window maintains the robustness and durability associated with Sapphire, ensuring long-lasting performance.
