48-853 5 mm Dia. Calcium Fluoride Protective Flat Window; t=1 mm Uncoated

The 48-853 is a 5 mm diameter Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) protective flat window, with a thickness of 1 mm and no coating. This window, offered by Edmund Optics, is a circular, thin lens type optical component designed for use in systems operating at a wavelength of 587.6 nm.

The window is made of Calcium Fluoride, a material with the Mal-1963 material ID, which is known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. This makes the 48-853 an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission in these wavelength ranges.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in specific applications, an uncoated window like the 48-853 can be advantageous in situations where simplicity, cost-effectiveness, or broadband transmission are priorities.

According to the vendor's website, the 48-853 is currently in stock, indicating its availability for immediate purchase and use in optical systems. The product's webpage also provides additional information and resources, making it a valuable resource for those considering this component for their optical designs.
