This 36-576 optical window, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a 25 mm diameter, 2.3 mm thick component made from high-quality sapphire (al2o3 mal-1972-n-o). Sapphire is a popular material for optical components due to its excellent transparency in a wide range of wavelengths, including the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum. This particular window is designed for use in the NIR II range, specifically between 750 and 1550 nanometers.
The window features anti-reflective (AR) coatings on both the front and back surfaces. These coatings are designed according to the EDM NIR-II standard curve, which provides optimal performance in the NIR II spectrum. The AR coatings are crucial for minimizing light loss due to reflection, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and clarity of the optical system.
The window's thin lens shape and circular geometry make it suitable for a wide range of applications. The item data indicates that this component is currently in stock, and more information, including pricing and detailed specifications, can be found on the Edmund Optics website.
