WBF1001 10 mm Dia. Barium Fluoride Round Window; t=1mm Uncoated
The WBF1001 is a 10 mm diameter Barium Fluoride (BaF2) round window with a thickness of 1 mm, sourced from Knight Optical. This uncoated window is designed as a flat window with a circular base shape, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The window is made of Barium Fluoride, a material with the material ID [CGDM]. Barium Fluoride is known for its excellent transmission properties, particularly in the ultraviolet (UV) and mid-infrared (MIR) regions. This makes the WBF1001 an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission in these spectral regions.
The WBF1001 has a geometry defined by its diameter and thickness. With a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, it offers a balance between strength and transparency. The thin lens shape of the window ensures minimal distortion of light passing through it, making it suitable for imaging applications.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in applications where coatings may interfere with the desired optical properties. However, it's important to note that uncoated windows may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture.
The WBF1001 is designed to work with a wavelength of 633 nanometers. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including laser systems and optical metrology.
