WQZ4202 42 mm Dia. Z-Cut Quartz Right Handed Round Window; t=2mm Uncoated

The WQZ4202 is a high-quality Z-cut quartz window, boasting a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. This right-handed round window is sourced from Knight Optical, a reputable vendor known for its extensive catalog of optical elements. The window is made of quartz, also known as fused silica or silicon dioxide (SiO2), a material renowned for its exceptional optical properties, making it an ideal choice for various applications.

The WQZ4202 is designed as a flat window, which is a simple optical component with two parallel surfaces. This design ensures minimal optical distortion, making it suitable for use in systems where clarity and precision are paramount. The window's base shape is circular, adding to its versatility as it can be used in applications where a circular aperture is required.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of quartz are desired, or where the introduction of a coating could potentially introduce unwanted optical effects. However, it's important to note that uncoated windows may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dirt, dust, or moisture, which could potentially affect their performance.

The WQZ4202 is designed to work with a wavelength of 633 nm. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, spectroscopy, laser systems, and optical metrology.
