This 48-923 model is a high-efficiency protective flat window, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. The window, which is rectangular in shape, measures 25.4 mm in width and length, with a thickness of 1 mm, making it an ideal choice for applications that require a compact and thin optical component.
The window is made of soda lime, a type of clear glass that is widely used in optical applications due to its excellent transparency and durability. The glass is float-formed, a process that ensures a uniform thickness and excellent surface quality.
The window features a broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce reflection across the spectral range of 425-700 nm, thereby enhancing the transmission of light through the window. The BBAR coating is particularly beneficial in applications that require high light transmission, such as imaging systems, spectroscopy, and beam delivery systems.
The window is classified as a high-efficiency window, indicating that it is designed to maximize light transmission while minimizing optical losses. This makes it an excellent choice for applications that require high optical performance, such as laser systems, optical metrology, and biomedical optics.
