This is a WGE2523 Germanium Rectangular Window, a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. The window measures 23.5 x 25 mm in width and length, respectively, and has a thickness of 1 mm, making it a slim yet robust option for various optical applications.
The window is made of Germanium, a material with the chemical symbol Ge and an atomic number of 32. It is known for its excellent properties, such as high transparency in the infrared region, making it ideal for applications involving infrared spectroscopy, thermal imaging, and other infrared-based technologies. Specifically, this window is designed to work optimally at a wavelength of 10600 nm.
The window's shape is that of a flat window, which is beneficial in applications where minimal distortion and a clear, undeviated path for light is required. The thin lens shape further enhances its usability in various setups.
Notably, this window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain properties of optical components, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, an uncoated window can be advantageous in applications where such enhancements are not necessary or desirable.
