This WQZ3502 optical window, sourced from Knight Optical, is a 35 mm diameter Z-cut quartz window with a thickness of 2 mm. As a right-handed component, it is designed to be used in specific optical systems where the light's polarization direction is crucial.
The window is made of high-quality quartz (SiO2), a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide range of wavelengths. In this particular window, the specified wavelength is 633 nm, although it can potentially transmit other wavelengths as well.
The window's geometry is that of a flat window, which is ideal for applications where minimal optical distortion is required. The thin lens shape further minimizes any potential distortions.
Notably, this window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While this may result in a slightly reduced transmission in certain wavelength ranges compared to coated windows, it also means that the window is less prone to damage from environmental factors or mishandling.
The window is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from Knight Optical's website.
