The WHP1600 is a high-quality optical window from Knight Optical, designed with a base shape of a circle and a diameter of 16 mm. This window is part of the Flat Window sub-type, featuring a thickness of 3 mm, which is suitable for various optical applications.
The window is made of Borofloat 33, a low-expansion borosilicate glass known for its excellent chemical resistance, thermal shock resistance, and high transmittance in the visible spectrum. The wavelength of 633 nm falls within the high transmittance region of this material, making it an ideal choice for applications involving red light, such as helium-neon lasers.
The window has a shape described as a Thin Lens, indicating a flat, thin, and transparent optical component. This shape is ideal for applications where the window needs to minimize optical aberrations and distortions.
Notably, this window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses at the air-glass interfaces, it also means the window can be used in a wider range of applications without the risk of coating damage or degradation.
The window is in stock and available for immediate purchase from Knight Optical, as indicated by the "weblink status" field in the item data.
