The 68-523 is a circular flat window made from silicon, with a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. This uncoated window is sourced from Edmund Optics and is currently in stock. It is designed to protect optical components from environmental hazards while maintaining high optical quality. The window's thin lens shape ensures minimal optical distortion.
The window is made from silicon, specifically silicon sal vil 1957, which is known for its excellent mechanical and thermal properties. It is transparent at the specified wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications that require high transmittance in the visible spectrum.
This window does not have any coating, which means it provides bare silicon's natural optical properties. However, it may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dirt, dust, or moisture compared to coated windows. Therefore, it is recommended for use in controlled environments or when additional protection measures are in place.
