The 520-6253 is a circular, flat window made of Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) with a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. This window is sourced from EKSMA Optics, a reputable vendor in the optical components industry. The item is uncoated, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that do not require specialized coatings.
Magnesium Fluoride is a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) regions of the spectrum. This particular window is designed to operate at a wavelength of 1000 nanometers, making it suitable for applications in this spectral range.
The window is shaped as a thin lens, which can provide some focusing properties depending on the application. However, its primary function is to protect the optical system from environmental contaminants and to provide a clear, undistorted view of the target object.
