This is a WBF2550 Barium Fluoride (BaF2) Round Window, a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. The window has a base shape of a circle with a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness of 5 mm, making it suitable for various optical applications.
The window is made of Barium Fluoride (BaF2), a material with the Material ID "baf2 cgdm". This material is known for its excellent transmission properties, particularly in the ultraviolet (UV) and mid-infrared (MIR) regions. The wavelength of 633 nm falls within the visible light spectrum, indicating that this window can transmit light within this range.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in applications where maintaining the original properties of the BaF2 material is crucial. However, it's important to note that uncoated windows may have higher reflectivity compared to coated ones.
The window's geometry is that of a thin lens, which can be advantageous in applications where minimal optical distortion is required. The window is currently in stock and available for purchase through the provided web link.
