PW0512C 0.5 in Dia. N-BK7 Round Plane Optical Window; t=0.125 in Uncoated

The PW0512C is a 0.5-inch diameter, flat optical 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, has a thickness of 0.125 inches and is uncoated, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The N-BK7 glass, also known as Borosilicate Crown, is known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high transmittance in the visible and near-infrared regions. This makes the PW0512C an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and excellent optical performance.

The window's flat design, or Plane Optic, ensures a uniform surface, minimizing distortions and scattering, which is crucial in imaging and beam delivery systems. The circular shape, or Round Window, provides a larger aperture for efficient light transmission, making it suitable for applications with high light flux.

The uncoated version of the PW0512C is versatile and can be used in various applications. However, for specific requirements, such as increased transmission or specific wavelength applications, coatings can be applied.
