WZN2601 25.4 mm Dia. Zinc Selenide Standard Round Window; t=1mm Uncoated

The WZN2601 is a 25.4 mm diameter Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) standard round window with a thickness of 1mm, sourced from Knight Optical. This window is a flat, circular optical component designed for use in various applications that require optical transmission.

The window is made of Zinc Selenide, a material with the catalog number znse marple-1964 in Knight Optical's database. Zinc Selenide is known for its excellent transmission properties in the infrared region, making it suitable for applications involving infrared light, such as thermal imaging and night vision systems. The window has a wavelength of 10600 nm, further emphasizing its suitability for infrared applications.

The WZN2601 features a thin lens shape, which is advantageous in applications where a flat window may cause optical aberrations. The lens shape helps to minimize these aberrations, improving the overall optical performance of the system.

Notably, this window is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, an uncoated window can be advantageous in certain applications. For instance, uncoated windows can be more cost-effective and are less likely to introduce additional chromatic aberrations.
