The WZN0902 is a 9 mm diameter Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) flat window, featuring a thickness of 2 mm and uncoated surfaces. This window is sourced from Knight Optical, a reputable vendor known for its extensive catalog of optical elements.
As a window, this component is designed to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the optical path while minimally affecting the light's trajectory. The WZN0902, in particular, is a circular window, which is often used in applications where a circular aperture is required.
The Zinc Selenide material (ZnSe) is a popular choice for optical components due to its excellent transparency in the infrared region of the spectrum. This makes the WZN0902 particularly suitable for applications involving infrared light, such as thermal imaging or night vision systems.
The window's geometry is defined by its diameter and thickness. With a diameter of 9 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, the WZN0902 strikes a balance between robustness and lightness, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a specific coating might interfere with the light's properties. However, it's important to note that uncoated surfaces can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, moisture, or scratches.
