WGE1000 10 mm Dia. Germanium Round Window; t=2mm Uncoated

The WGE1000 is a 10 mm diameter Germanium round window with a thickness of 2 mm, sourced from Knight Optical. This window is a flat, circular optical component designed for use in various applications that require transmission of infrared light.

The window's base shape is circular, making it suitable for applications where a circular aperture is preferred. The geometry of the window, with a 10 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness, provides a balance between transparency and structural integrity. The thin lens shape of the window ensures minimal distortion of the light passing through it.

The material of the window is Germanium, specifically identified as "germanium burnett" in the item data. Germanium is a popular choice for infrared optics due to its high transparency in the infrared spectrum, specifically between 2-14 µm. This makes the WGE1000 an ideal choice for applications in the infrared region, such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and other infrared-based technologies.

Notably, this window is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to optical components to enhance their performance, such as increasing their transmission, reducing reflection, or protecting the surface. However, an uncoated window can be advantageous in certain situations, such as when the user wants to minimize additional layers that could introduce distortion or when the environment is not prone to contamination.

The window is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase from Knight Optical, as indicated by the "weblink status" in the item data. For more information, users can visit the provided web link.
