WHS1600 16 mm Dia. Sapphire Random Cut Round Window; t=1mm Uncoated

The WHS1600 is a 16 mm diameter circular window made from high-quality sapphire, offering exceptional optical performance and durability. This window, sourced from Knight Optical, features a random cut design, providing a unique aesthetic while maintaining excellent optical properties.

The window has a thickness of 1 mm, making it suitable for applications where a thin, lightweight, yet robust optical component is required. It is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in applications where maintaining the natural optical properties of sapphire is crucial.

Sapphire, with the material ID al2o3 mal-1972-n-o, is known for its excellent scratch resistance and transparency across a wide spectrum, including the visible and near-infrared regions. The WHS1600 is specifically designed for a wavelength of 633 nm, making it ideal for applications that use this wavelength, such as laser systems or spectroscopy.

The window is classified as a flat window, which means it does not have any curvature. This can be advantageous in applications where a flat, undistorted optical surface is necessary. The window's geometry is defined by its diameter and thickness, making it easy to integrate into various optical systems.
