The 39-392 is a 12.7 mm diameter Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) protective flat window, with a thickness of 2 mm and no coating. This window is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor in the optical industry.
As a window, this component is designed to protect optical surfaces from damage while allowing the transmission of light. The 39-392, specifically, is a flat window, which means it has a planar surface on both sides. This design is ideal for applications that require minimal optical distortion.
The window is made of Zinc Selenide, a material with a wide transmission range from the UV to the mid-IR. This makes it suitable for a variety of applications, including laser systems, infrared optics, and astronomical instruments. The 2 mm thickness provides a good balance between strength and light transmission.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its properties. While coatings can improve characteristics such as reflectivity or durability, an uncoated window can be advantageous in certain situations. For instance, it can be more cost-effective and simpler to clean.
The window's circular base shape is common in optical components, as it allows for easy integration into various systems. The 39-392 is in stock and available for immediate purchase, as indicated by its valid weblink status.
