The SAW17 is a high-quality optical window from the renowned vendor MKS/Newport. This window is designed for use in optical systems that require a flat, transparent element to guide or protect the optical path. The window features a circular base shape with a diameter of 13 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm, making it suitable for applications where a thin, lightweight window is required.
The window is made from sapphire, a highly durable and scratch-resistant material with the chemical formula al2o3. Sapphire is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high refractive index and low absorption, making it an ideal choice for use in high-precision optical systems. The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to modify its optical properties. This can be beneficial in applications where maintaining the natural properties of the sapphire is crucial.
The SAW17 is designed for use at a wavelength of 633 nm, although it may be suitable for use at other wavelengths depending on the specific requirements of your application. It is available for purchase directly from MKS/Newport, and the link provided indicates that it is currently in stock.
