The PP1512C is a 1.5-inch diameter Plane Parallel Window made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. This window, sourced from Laser Components, is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance or alter its optical properties.
The window has a base shape of a circle with a diameter of approximately 38.1 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The thickness of the window is 3.175 mm, providing sufficient structural integrity while maintaining a low weight.
The N-BK7 glass, also known as Borosilicate Crown, has a refractive index of 1.5168 at 632.8 nm, which is the wavelength provided in the item data. This wavelength is commonly used in laser applications, indicating that this window could be used in similar settings.
The window is classified as a Flat Window, which means it has two parallel, flat surfaces. This design ensures that the window does not distort the light passing through it, making it ideal for applications where image quality is crucial.
The window's geometry is that of a Thin Lens, which suggests that it could be used in optical systems where a lens is required. However, without a coating, it may not perform as optimally as coated lenses in certain applications.
