83-344 25 mm Dia. Germanium Protective Flat Window; t=2 mm Uncoated

The 83-344 is a 25 mm diameter Germanium Protective Flat Window with a thickness of 2 mm, uncoated and sourced from Edmund Optics. This window is designed for use in optical systems, providing a protective barrier for the optical components while minimally affecting the light path.

The window is made of Germanium, a material known for its high refractive index and transparency in the infrared region of the spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that involve infrared light, such as thermal imaging or night vision systems. The window's uncoated surface ensures minimal reflection, maximizing transmission and minimizing losses.

The window's flat design ensures a planar surface, reducing distortions and aberrations that could occur with curved surfaces. The circular shape is a common form factor in optical systems, allowing for easy integration into various setups.

The window's thin lens shape further minimizes its impact on the light path, reducing the likelihood of introducing additional aberrations. The 2 mm thickness provides sufficient strength for handling and protection without adding unnecessary weight or thickness.
