The WG12012 Dia:2in N-BK7 Broadband Precision Window is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. Manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading global supplier of photonics equipment, this window boasts a 2-inch (50.8 mm) diameter and a thickness of 12 mm, making it suitable for use in systems requiring precise optical alignment and high-transmission performance.
The window is made from N-BK7, a popular borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is characterized by a low coefficient of thermal expansion, high homogeneity, and excellent transmission in the visible and near-infrared regions. The N-BK7 Schott designation indicates that the glass meets the stringent quality standards set by Schott, a renowned glass manufacturer.
The window features a flat base shape and a thin lens shape, which helps to minimize optical aberrations and ensures high-quality imaging. The uncoated surface allows for broadband transmission, making it suitable for use with a wide range of wavelengths. However, it's important to note that uncoated surfaces may be more susceptible to contamination and damage, so proper handling and cleaning procedures should be followed.
