The PW2037C is a 2-inch diameter, flat window optical component made of 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 0.375 inches and a clear aperture of 50.8 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The N-BK7 glass, also known as Borosilicate Crown, offers a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it an ideal choice for various optical systems. The window's flat shape ensures minimal distortion, making it perfect for use as a protective cover or an interface between different media.
This uncoated window does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings, which makes it suitable for use in environments where such coatings are not required or may interfere with the system's operation. However, users should note that uncoated windows can cause unwanted reflections, especially in high-power laser applications.
The PW2037C is available from Laser Components and is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website. For more detailed specifications and performance data, users are encouraged to refer to the vendor's datasheet, which is available at https://www.lasercomponents.com/fileadmin/user_upload/home/Datasheets/lc-optics/substrates/round_plano_substrates.pdf.
