CAW10 5 mm Dia. Calcium Fluoride Parallel Optical Flat Window; t=1 mm Uncoated

The CAW10 is a 5 mm diameter Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) Parallel Optical Flat Window, with a thickness of 1 mm, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This window is a type of flat optical component designed for use in various optical systems, providing a clear aperture for light transmission while minimally affecting the beam path.

The window's base shape is circular, which is a common design for components intended for general use in various optical systems. The geometry of the window consists of a 5 mm diameter and a 1 mm thickness, making it a thin and lightweight component, ideal for applications where space and weight are critical factors.

The material of the window is Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), which is a popular material in optical applications due to its excellent transparency in a wide range of wavelengths, including the visible and near-infrared regions. The specific CaF2 material used in this window is identified as "caf2 mal-1963" in the Material ID.

The window is designed to operate at a wavelength of 632.8 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This wavelength is commonly used in various applications, including interferometry, laser-based measurements, and spectroscopy.

The window has a shape described as a "Thin Lens," which suggests that it may have some slight focusing power, although this is not explicitly stated in the provided data. The coating of the window is listed as "{}," indicating that it is uncoated. This means that the window does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties, making it suitable for applications where minimal optical interference is required.
