The 30 mm Diameter Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) Protective Flat Window is a high-quality optical component designed for a wide range of applications. Sourced from Edmund Optics, this window boasts a 3 mm thickness and features a broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically designed for the 3-12 µm wavelength range.
This window is a circular flat window, a type of optical window that provides a clear aperture without introducing any aberrations or distortions. The ZnSe material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency in the infrared region, making it an ideal choice for applications such as thermal imaging, infrared spectroscopy, and other infrared-based technologies.
The BBAR coating on both surfaces of the window reduces reflection, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system performance. This coating is specifically designed for the 3-12 µm wavelength range, ensuring optimal performance in the intended application.
The window is shaped as a thin lens, which is a lens with a very small thickness compared to its diameter. This shape allows for easy integration into optical systems and minimizes the impact on the overall system's optical properties.
