The 83-468 is a 12.5 mm diameter, 3 mm thick N-BK7 precision protective flat window, designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600 and 1050 nanometers. This window is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for immediate purchase.
The window is made from N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmission and low autofluorescence. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require precise optical performance, such as imaging, spectroscopy, and beam delivery systems.
The window features a standard NIR I coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the window's performance in the near-infrared region, improving its transmission and reducing reflections. The coating is applied using Edmund Optics' EDM NIR-I standard curve, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
The window's geometry is that of a thin lens, with a flat profile that minimizes distortions and aberrations. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of optical systems, from simple setups to complex assemblies.
