10QB20 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Interferometer Optical Flat Window; t=9.52 mm Uncoated

The 10QB20 is a high-quality optical window, specifically designed for use in interferometry applications. Sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport, this component boasts a 25.4 mm diameter and a thickness of 9.52 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems.

This window is categorized as a flat window, which means it has a planar surface on both sides, ideal for maintaining the flatness of a beam path. The base shape of the window is circular, a common and versatile shape in optical systems due to its isotropic properties.

The material of the window is UVFS, a type of fused silica. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide spectrum, making it suitable for use with a wavelength of 632.8 nm. The UVFS material also offers high mechanical strength and resistance to thermal shock, ensuring durability and longevity in various operating conditions.

The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the UVFS material are desired. However, for applications requiring specific reflective or transmissive properties, coatings can be applied.

In terms of geometry, the window is shaped like a thin lens, which means it has a thickness much less than its diameter. This shape is beneficial in applications where maintaining a collimated beam path is crucial.

The window is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase. For more information, please refer to the vendor's website provided in the weblinks section.
