43-327-000 0.5 in Dia. Zerodur Single Surface Flat Window; t=0.13 in Uncoated

The 43-327-000 0.5 in Dia. Zerodur 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 to provide excellent optical performance in a variety of applications.

The window is made from Zerodur, a low-expansion glass-ceramic material developed by Schott AG. Zerodur is known for its exceptional dimensional stability and high homogeneity, making it an ideal choice for precision optical applications. The material has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which minimizes the effects of temperature changes on the window's shape and optical performance.

The window features a single surface flat design, which is ideal for applications where a flat, uncoated surface is required. The thickness of the window is 0.13 in (3.302 mm), providing a good balance between mechanical strength and optical performance.

The window is designed for use at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the visible spectrum. It is classified as a thin lens, indicating that its thickness is significantly less than its diameter, which contributes to its excellent optical performance.

Notably, this window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surface. This may be desirable in applications where such coatings are not required or may interfere with the optical system's performance.
