The 43-889 is a 10 mm diameter Borofloat33 protective flat window with a thickness of 1.75 mm, sourced from Edmund Optics. This window is uncoated, offering users a versatile and cost-effective solution for various optical applications.
Borofloat33, also known as borosilicate glass, is renowned for its excellent chemical resistance, thermal shock resistance, and mechanical strength. These properties make it an ideal choice for applications involving harsh environments or extreme temperature fluctuations.
The window features a flat base shape, ensuring uniformity and consistency in the direction of light propagation. Its circular geometry, with a 10 mm diameter, allows for easy integration into various optical systems. The window's thin lens shape further enhances its functionality, providing minimal optical distortion and maintaining the integrity of the light path.
The uncoated feature of this window provides users with a bare glass surface, offering flexibility in determining the appropriate coating for their specific application. However, it's important to note that uncoated surfaces may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and scratches.
This window is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. Its availability and in-stock status ensure quick delivery, making it a reliable choice for time-sensitive projects.
