MGW10 5 mm Dia. Magnesium Fluoride Optical Parallel Flat Window; t=1 mm Uncoated

The MGW10 is a high-quality optical window, designed and manufactured by MKS/Newport, a leading vendor in the field of precision optics. This particular model boasts a 5 mm diameter and a thickness of 1 mm, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of optical applications.

The window is made from Magnesium Fluoride, a material with the ID "magnes dod-1984-n-o". This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high level of transparency and a refractive index that makes it ideal for use in laser systems and other applications where precise light control is required.

The MGW10 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 632.8 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications where visibility and light transmission are critical, such as in microscopy, beam analysis, and other scientific research fields.

The window features a flat, circular shape, with geometry that is optimized for use as a thin lens. This design allows for minimal distortion and high light transmission, making it an excellent choice for applications where optical precision is paramount.

Notably, the MGW10 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a natural, unaltered light path is desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated windows may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and scratches, so they may require more frequent cleaning and maintenance.
