The WQZ1202 is a 12 mm diameter Z-cut quartz right-handed round window with a thickness of 2 mm, sourced from Knight Optical. This window is a type of flat window, designed with a base shape of a circle, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require circular optical components.
The window is made of quartz (SiO2), a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to thermal shock. The WQZ1202 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 633 nm, making it suitable for applications that use red light, such as certain types of lasers or optical imaging systems.
The window has a shape described as a thin lens, which suggests that it has been carefully crafted to minimize optical aberrations. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision optics.
Notably, the WQZ1202 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. This can be advantageous in certain applications where coatings might introduce unwanted reflections or interfere with the optical properties of the window. However, in applications where surface protection or specific optical properties are required, a coated version of this window might be more suitable.
