This product is a 50 mm diameter, 1 mm thick N-BK7 precision protective flat window, coated with MgF2 on both the front and back surfaces. The window is sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics.
The window is made of N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low coefficient of thermal expansion. This makes it an ideal choice for various optical applications that require precision and durability.
The window features a standard MgF2 coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed to provide broadband anti-reflection performance in the 400-700nm spectral range. This coating enhances the window's transmission capabilities, making it suitable for use in laser systems, imaging systems, and other optical instruments.
The window's geometry is defined by its circular base shape and thin lens shape. The circular base shape ensures uniformity in the incident and reflected light, making it suitable for applications that require a consistent light path. The thin lens shape, on the other hand, minimizes optical aberrations and distortions, further enhancing the window's performance.
