WHS5000 50 mm Dia. Sapphire Random Cut Round Window; t=2mm Uncoated

The WHS5000 is a 50 mm diameter Sapphire Random Cut Round Window, with a thickness of 2mm, sourced from Knight Optical. This window is a flat, circular optical component designed for use in various applications where high-quality optical transmission is required.

The window is made of Sapphire, a material with the chemical formula Al2O3, and is known for its exceptional hardness, second only to diamond. This hardness makes it highly resistant to scratching and abrasion, ensuring longevity and durability in demanding environments. Sapphire also has excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide range of wavelengths, making it an ideal material for optical windows.

The window features a random cut, which adds a unique aesthetic appeal while also providing functional benefits. The random cut reduces the risk of stress concentrations that could lead to failure, making the window more robust and reliable.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the sapphire material are desired, or where cost considerations are a factor. However, it should be noted that uncoated windows may have higher reflectivity than coated windows, which could impact performance in some applications.

The window is in stock and available for immediate purchase from Knight Optical. More information, including pricing and delivery details, can be found on the Knight Optical website.
