The OFPXP-4050R08-20 is a 40 x 50 mm Rectangular Precision Polished Flat Window, boasting a thickness of 8 mm, making it a robust and reliable optical component. This window is sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry, and is available for immediate purchase on their website.
The window is made from n-bk7 Schott glass, a material well-known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmittance and low dispersion. This particular window is uncoated, offering users the raw optical properties of the glass itself. However, it's important to note that uncoated windows may have higher reflectance at the air-glass interface, which could impact the overall system performance.
The window's rectangular shape, combined with its precision polishing, makes it an ideal choice for various optical applications. It can be used as a protective window, a beam splitter, or even as a spacer in optical systems. The window's thin lens shape further enhances its versatility, allowing it to be used in complex optical systems where precise alignment and minimal optical aberrations are crucial.
