The 40 mm diameter N-BK7 Laser Line Window is a high-quality optical component designed for use with 532nm lasers. This window, sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics, boasts a flat, circular shape with a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 4 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The window is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Schott glass, is renowned for its low auto-fluorescence, high damage threshold, and excellent transmission across the visible and near-infrared spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for laser applications.
The window features a V-coat designed specifically for 532nm lasers. This coating, applied to both the front and back surfaces, is engineered to enhance the window's performance in laser applications. It provides high transmission at the design wavelength, ensuring optimal laser beam propagation.
The window's thin lens shape further enhances its functionality. This shape allows for minimal optical aberrations, ensuring the laser beam maintains its integrity as it passes through the window.
