68-496 50 mm Dia. Zinc Selenide Protective Flat Window; t=3 mm Uncoated
The 68-496 is a 50 mm diameter Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) protective flat window, with a thickness of 3 mm and no coating. This window is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for its high-quality optical components.
The window is designed as a flat window, which is a type of optical window that does not alter the path of light. It is circular in base shape, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The window's geometry, with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, provides a robust and stable platform for optical systems.
The material of the window is Zinc Selenide, identified as "znse marple-1964" in the Material ID. Zinc Selenide is a popular material for optical windows due to its excellent transmission properties in the infrared region of the spectrum. The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, its natural properties make it an ideal choice for many applications.
The window is designed to work at a wavelength of 587.6 nm. This wavelength falls within the visible light spectrum, indicating that this window can be used in systems that operate in the visible light range.
In terms of shape, the window is thin lens shaped. This shape is ideal for applications where a thin, lightweight window is required. Despite its thinness, the window is robust and can withstand typical optical system stresses.
