The WHP5000 is a 50 mm diameter flat window made from Schott Borofloat 33, a type of borosilicate glass. This window, with a thickness of 5 mm, is uncoated, offering users a clear, unaltered view of the optical path. The window is sourced from Knight Optical, a reputable vendor known for its high-quality optical components.
The window is designed in a circular shape, which is the most common and versatile shape for optical components. This shape ensures a wide field of view and minimal distortion, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The window's thin lens shape further contributes to its versatility, allowing it to be used in systems where space is a constraint.
The Schott Borofloat 33 material is chosen for its excellent optical properties and durability. It has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock and suitable for use in environments with varying temperatures. The material also has a high transmittance across a wide spectrum, including the visible range, making it ideal for applications that require clear visibility.
The window is designed to work at a wavelength of 633 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications that involve visible light, such as laser systems, imaging systems, and optical metrology.
