The 43-319-000 0.5 in Dia. UVFS Single Surface Flat Window is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This window, with a diameter of 12.7 mm, is designed for use in a variety of optical systems where a flat, transparent surface is required.
The window is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica), a material with the material ID uvfs mal- 1965. This material is known for its excellent transparency across a wide range of wavelengths, making it suitable for use in UV, visible, and near-infrared applications. The window has a thickness of 0.13 in (3.302 mm), providing a good balance between mechanical strength and transparency.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a high level of reflectivity is desired, or where the introduction of a coating could potentially degrade the optical performance.
The window is of the flat variety, meaning it does not have any curvature. This is useful in applications where a flat, unaltered optical path is required. The window is also thin, which can be beneficial in applications where weight or thickness are critical factors.
