The WHS1000 is a 10 mm diameter sapphire random cut round window with a thickness of 1 mm, sourced from Knight Optical. This window is a flat, circular optical component designed for use in various applications where high optical quality and durability are required.
The window is made of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), also known as sapphire, a material renowned for its exceptional physical and optical properties. Sapphire is characterized by its high transparency, making it ideal for use across a wide spectrum of wavelengths, including the visible light spectrum. In this particular window, the wavelength of 633 nm is specified, which is within the visible light range.
The window's geometry is defined by its 10 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness. The random cut design adds a unique aesthetic appeal while ensuring the window's functionality. The window's shape is that of a thin lens, which is optimal for applications where minimal thickness and weight are desirable.
Notably, this window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This may be beneficial in applications where the natural properties of sapphire are desired, or where additional coatings may interfere with the system's performance.
