49-127 10 mm Dia. N-BK7 Laser Line Window; t=2 mm Laser V-Coat 532nm

The 49-127 10 mm Dia. N-BK7 Laser Line Window is a high-quality optical component designed for use in laser applications. This window, sourced from Edmund Optics, features a 10 mm diameter and a thickness of 2 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of laser systems.

The window is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. N-BK7, also known as BK7, is a borosilicate crown glass with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock. This makes it an ideal choice for laser applications where thermal stability is crucial.

The window is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 532nm, a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for use with 532 nm lasers. This coating reduces reflection at the laser wavelength, improving transmission and enhancing the performance of your laser system. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the window, ensuring optimal performance from all angles.

The window is shaped as a thin lens, which means it has been ground and polished to a precise curvature. This shape is often used in optical systems to focus or collimate light. However, in this case, the window is not intended to be used as a lens, but rather as a protective element to shield the rest of the system from dirt, dust, and other contaminants.
