This 25.4 mm diameter flat window, model 48-924, is a high-efficiency protective component designed for optical systems. Sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics, it is a circular window with a thickness of 1 mm, specifically engineered for superior performance.
The window is fabricated from soda lime glass, a material known for its clarity and durability. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require a balance between cost-effectiveness and optical quality. The window's geometry, with a 25.4 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness, ensures a robust and compact design, suitable for various optical setups.
The window features a broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating, specifically designed for the wavelength range of 425-700 nm. This coating, applied to both the front and back surfaces, reduces reflection and increases transmission, enhancing the overall efficiency of the optical system. The coating's performance is crucial for applications that require high light transmission, such as imaging systems, solar cells, and optical sensors.
The window's shape is defined as a thin lens, indicating its potential use in systems where focusing or collimation of light is required. However, its primary function remains protective, safeguarding the optical elements placed behind it from environmental hazards and physical damage.
