WQZ3203 32 mm Dia. Z-Cut Quartz Right Handed Round Window; t=3mm Uncoated

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.

This window is in stock and available for immediate shipping. For more information, please visit the product page at https://www.knightoptical.com/stock/default/z-cut-quartz-window-32mmdiax3mmthk.html.
