The CAW14 is a high-quality optical window from MKS/Newport, designed for use in a wide range of optical systems. This window features a base shape of a circle with a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, making it suitable for applications where a thin, lightweight, yet robust optical element is required.
The window is made from Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), a material with a Malus-Bodmann Identification Number of mal-1963. This material is known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum, making it an ideal choice for applications where high transmission is required. The window is designed to operate at a wavelength of 632.8 nm, although it can be used effectively across a broader spectrum.
The CAW14 is configured in the shape of a thin lens, although it does not have any optical power. This shape, however, allows it to be easily integrated into existing optical systems. The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This can be beneficial in applications where the natural reflectivity of the material is desired or where the introduction of a coating could potentially degrade the performance of the system.
