WGE1803 18 mm Dia. Germanium Round Window; t=3mm Uncoated

The WGE1803 is a high-quality Window element, sourced from Knight Optical, with a flat design and a circular base shape. This Window is specifically designed with a diameter of 18 millimeters and a thickness of 3 millimeters, providing an excellent balance between durability and compactness.

As a Window, the WGE1803 is designed to allow light or other electromagnetic radiation to pass through while minimally altering the incoming beam. This makes it an ideal component for applications that require the preservation of signal integrity, such as imaging systems, beam delivery systems, and various optical instruments.

The Window is made of Germanium (Ge-18mmdia-x-3mmthk-polished-window), a material known for its excellent transmissive properties in the infrared region of the spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 10600 nanometers. This makes the WGE1803 particularly suitable for applications in the infrared spectrum, such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and other infrared-based technologies.

The WGE1803 features a polished surface, which ensures optimal light transmission and minimal scattering, further enhancing its performance in optical systems. Additionally, the Window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in applications where coatings might introduce unwanted reflections or alterations to the beam profile.
