WZSA-50.8C03-10600A 50.8 mm Dia. ZnSe Flat Window for Infrared Laser; t=3mm 10.6µm

The WZSA-50.8C03-10600A is a 50.8 mm diameter ZnSe flat window, specifically designed for use with infrared lasers and operating at a wavelength of 10.6µm. This window is sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor known for its high-quality optical components.

This optical element is a window, a type of optical component that is primarily used to protect the optical system from environmental contaminants while minimally affecting the beam. The window's sub-type is flat, indicating that its surfaces are parallel to each other, providing minimal optical power and distortion. The base shape of this window is circular, a common shape for optical components due to its ease of manufacturing and integration into optical systems.

The window's geometry includes a diameter of 50.8 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. The diameter is the overall size of the window, while the thickness refers to the distance between the two parallel surfaces. This thickness-to-diameter ratio ensures the window's rigidity while maintaining a low profile in the optical system.

The window is made of ZnSe, a material with the ID znse marple-1964. ZnSe is a popular material for infrared applications due to its high transmission in the infrared region, excellent chemical resistance, and good mechanical strength.

The window features anti-reflection coatings on both the front and back surfaces. These coatings, specifically the 'opt wzsa' type, are designed to reduce reflection at the window's surfaces, thereby increasing transmission and minimizing losses.

The window's shape is thin lens, indicating that it has been precisely manufactured to have minimal optical power. This makes it ideal for use in optical systems where the introduction of additional optical power is undesirable.
