The PP4050C is a 4-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 101.6 millimeters and a thickness of 12.7 millimeters. This thickness provides sufficient structural integrity while maintaining a low weight. The geometry of the window is that of a thin lens, which is often used in optical systems where the lens's thickness is much smaller than its diameter.
The window is designed to operate at a wavelength of 632.8 nanometers, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including laser systems and optical metrology. The N-BK7 material ensures high transmission in the visible spectrum, making it an ideal choice for these applications.
The PP4050C is currently in stock and available for immediate use. Its vendor, Laser Components, is a reputable supplier of optical components, ensuring quality and reliability.
