The SAW26 is a high-quality optical window manufactured by 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 base shape of a circle with a diameter of 31.8 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, providing a robust and compact design.
The window is made of sapphire, a material with the chemical formula Al2O3, which is known for its exceptional hardness, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. These properties make it an ideal choice for applications that require a durable and reliable optical window. The window is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in applications where the natural properties of sapphire are desired.
The SAW26 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 633 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems. It is available for purchase directly from the MKS/Newport website, where you can find more detailed specifications and purchasing information.
