The PL3-1025C is a wedge window from Laser Components, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. This window, with a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm), is designed for use in optical systems that require a precise angle of incidence.
The window is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Borosilicate Crown, is known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high transmittance across a wide range of wavelengths. The N-BK7 used in this window is sourced from Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass.
The wedge angle of this window is 0.05235987755982989 radians or approximately 3 degrees. This angle is crucial in managing beam deviation and preventing unwanted reflections in optical systems. The maximum edge thickness of this window is 0.25 inches (6.35 mm), providing structural rigidity while minimizing unnecessary weight.
The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface treatments. This may be suitable for applications where such coatings are not required or desirable. However, users should be aware that uncoated windows can have higher reflectance at the air-glass interface, which may affect system performance.
