The WGW1600 is a 16 mm diameter flat window, sourced from Knight Optical, designed for use in optical systems that require a circular, thin lens element. This window is made from soda lime glass, a material known for its excellent clarity and durability. The window has a thickness of 1 mm, making it an ideal choice for applications that require a thin, lightweight optical element.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface coatings. This can be beneficial in applications where such coatings are not required or desirable, such as when the window is used as a simple spacer or protective barrier. However, it's important to note that uncoated windows can reflect a small percentage of incident light, which may need to be considered in certain applications.
The window is in stock and available for immediate purchase from Knight Optical's website. Detailed specifications, including refractive index, dispersion, and Abbe number, can be found on the product page. With its high clarity, thin profile, and reliable construction, the WGW1600 is a versatile and practical choice for a wide range of optical applications.
