This is the WGE5011, a 50 mm diameter Germanium round window with a thickness of 10mm, featuring Anti-Reflective Diamond-Like Carbon (AR-DLC) coating on both sides for wavelengths of 7-14µm.
The WGE5011 is a window type optical element, specifically a flat window, designed in a circular base shape. It is manufactured by Knight Optical, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The item is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase through their website at https://www.knightoptical.com/stock/default/germanium-window-50mmdiax10mmthk-ar-dlc-7-14um.html.
The window has a diameter of 50mm and a thickness of 10mm, making it suitable for applications that require a substantial optical path length while maintaining a compact footprint. The material of the window is Germanium, specifically identified as "germanium burnett" in the item data.
The WGE5011 is coated with AR-DLC on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce reflective losses at the Germanium-air interface, enhancing transmission in the 7-14µm wavelength range. The coating is a crucial feature for applications in mid-infrared spectroscopy, thermal imaging, and other fields where high transmission and low reflectance are essential.
In terms of geometry, the WGE5011 is shaped as a thin lens, which is a common design for optical windows. This shape ensures minimal optical aberrations and distortions, making it ideal for applications that require high-quality imaging or precise spectral measurements.
