The CAW11 is a 10 mm diameter Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) Parallel Optical Flat Window, with a thickness of 1.5 mm, sourced from MKS/Newport. This uncoated window is designed for use in optical systems and features a circular base shape, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The window is made of Calcium Fluoride, a material with the Mal-1963 ID, which is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high transmission rate in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high-quality optical transmission.
The window's geometry is defined by its 10 mm diameter and 1.5 mm thickness. The flat shape of the window ensures minimal distortion of the light passing through it, making it suitable for use in high-precision optical systems.
The window is designed for use at a wavelength of 632.8 nm, although its broad transmission range makes it suitable for use with a wide range of wavelengths. The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in applications where coatings may introduce unwanted reflections or other optical effects.
