The OPB-15S01-P is a 15 x 15 mm N-BK7 Square Optical Parallel Flat Window, featuring a thickness of 1 mm and uncoated surfaces. This optical window is sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optics industry.
This component is categorized as a Flat Window, a type of optical element designed to provide a clear aperture for transmitting optical radiation with minimal distortion. The Flat Window's rectangular base shape, with dimensions of 15 x 15 mm, ensures a broad surface area for efficient light transmission.
The material of this Flat Window is N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. N-BK7, often used in high-precision optical systems, offers a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a high Abbe number, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring high optical performance and stability.
The window has a single wavelength specification of 588 nm, which may indicate its intended use in monochromatic light applications. However, its performance in broader wavelength ranges may still be satisfactory due to the favorable optical properties of N-BK7.
The uncoated surfaces of the OPB-15S01-P Flat Window provide a cost-effective solution for applications where anti-reflective coatings are not required. However, users should be aware that uncoated surfaces may result in unwanted reflections, which could be mitigated by applying appropriate coatings based on the application's requirements.
