WGE2501 25 mm Dia. Germanium Round Window; t=2mm Uncoated

The WGE2501 is a 25 mm diameter Germanium round window with a thickness of 2 mm, uncoated and sourced from Knight Optical. This window is a flat, circular optical component designed for use in various applications, particularly those involving infrared (IR) wavelengths.

The window's base shape is circular, making it suitable for applications requiring a circular aperture. The geometry of the window includes a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, providing a robust yet thin profile for easy integration into optical systems.

The material of the window is germanium, specifically identified as "germanium burnett" in the item data. Germanium is a popular choice for IR applications due to its high refractive index and transparency in the IR spectrum, particularly between 2-14 µm. This makes the WGE2501 an ideal choice for applications involving wavelengths of 10600 nm.

The window is shaped as a thin lens, which is beneficial for applications requiring minimal optical distortion. The absence of a coating (uncoated) means that the window does not have any additional layers to enhance its properties. However, this also means that the window does not have any anti-reflective properties, which could be a consideration for applications where stray light could interfere with the system's performance.

The window is 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 weblink.
