WGE2522 25.4 mm Dia. Germanium Round Window; t=2mm Uncoated

The WGE2522 is a 25.4 mm diameter Germanium round window with a thickness of 2mm, sourced from Knight Optical. This uncoated window is designed in a flat configuration, featuring a circular base shape, and is classified as a thin lens.

As a Window type optical component, the WGE2522 is intended for applications that require the transmission of light or other electromagnetic radiation with minimal distortion or absorption. Its flat window design ensures a planar surface for optimal transmission, while the circular base shape provides versatility in application.

The WGE2522 is constructed from Germanium (Ge-25-4mmdia-x-2mmthk-polished-window), a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the infrared region of the spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 10600 nanometers. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as thermal imaging, night vision, and other infrared-based technologies.

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 material's natural transmission properties is crucial, or where cost-effectiveness is a priority. However, it's important to note that uncoated surfaces may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, moisture, or scratches, which could potentially impact the component's performance.
