68-532 50 mm Dia. Silicon Protective Flat Window; t=3 mm Uncoated

The 68-532 is a 50 mm diameter silicon protective flat window with a thickness of 3 mm, uncoated and sourced from Edmund Optics. This window is designed as a flat, circular shape, providing excellent optical properties for various applications.

As a Window type optical element, the 68-532 is primarily used to protect other optical components from environmental factors such as dust, moisture, or mechanical damage, while introducing minimal optical distortion. Its Sub Type, Flat Window, ensures that the window remains thin enough to maintain planarity and prevent unwanted refraction or reflection.

The window's Base Shape is circular, which provides a symmetric design with uniform optical properties across the aperture. The geometry specifies a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, ensuring adequate mechanical strength and rigidity.

The Material ID, silicon sal vil 1957, indicates that the window is made of high-quality silicon, which is an excellent material for optical windows due to its transparency across a wide range of wavelengths, including the visible spectrum. The wavelength of 587.6 nm is provided, suggesting that this window is specifically designed for use in applications centered around this wavelength.

The Shape of the window is Thin Lens, which implies that the window has been precisely manufactured and polished to maintain excellent surface quality, further minimizing optical aberrations.

The coating for this window is an empty object, indicating that the 68-532 is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components, an uncoated window can be advantageous in specific scenarios, such as when working with broadband light sources or when cost-effectiveness is a priority.

Overall, the 68-532 50 mm Dia. Silicon Protective Flat Window; t=3 mm Uncoated is a versatile and reliable optical component, well-suited for a wide range of applications where a high-quality, uncoated silicon window is required.
