This is the WQZ3203, a 32 mm diameter Z-cut quartz right-handed round window, with a thickness of 3 mm and no coating. Sourced from Knight Optical, this window is a flat, circular optical element, designed for use in a variety of applications.
The window is made from quartz, also known as fused silica or silicon dioxide (SiO2), a high-purity natural sand that has been fused and vitrified. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including a low coefficient of thermal expansion, high thermal shock resistance, and excellent transmission in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the spectrum.
The window features a Z-cut, a type of orientation that provides unique properties, such as a high birefringence and a high damage threshold. This makes it suitable for use in high-power laser applications. The right-handed design indicates the direction of the optic axis, which is important for certain polarization-sensitive applications.
The window is 3 mm thick, providing a good balance between strength, weight, and optical performance. The uncoated surface is ideal for applications where a broadband transmission is required, or where the coating could introduce unwanted reflections or absorption.
