37-008 50 mm Dia. N-BK7 Precision Protective Flat Window; t=1 mm NIR I 600-1050nm

The 37-008 is a 50 mm diameter, 1 mm thick N-BK7 window, coated with EDM NIR-I standard curve on both the front and back surfaces. This window is sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics.

The window is designed in a flat configuration, making it suitable for applications that require minimal optical distortion. Its base shape is circular, providing a uniform optical path and ease of integration into various systems. The window's geometry, with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, ensures a robust and compact design while maintaining high optical quality.

The window is made from N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision applications due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity. The N-BK7 Schott material ID ensures the window's compliance with the rigorous standards set by Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass.

The window is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. However, its coating, EDM NIR-I standard curve, extends its usability into the near-infrared region, specifically between 600 and 1050 nm. This coating enhances the window's durability and protects it from environmental factors, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

The window's shape is thin lens, indicating its ability to refract light. This feature can be beneficial in applications where light needs to be focused or redirected. Despite its lens-like properties, the window's primary function is to protect optical components from environmental hazards, such as dust and moisture.
