The WG12012-A is a high-quality, broadband precision window manufactured by Thorlabs. This window, designed for general-purpose use, is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range.
The window has a diameter of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a thickness of 12 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It features an antireflective (AR) coating on both surfaces, specifically designed for the 350-700 nm wavelength range. This coating significantly reduces reflection, thereby improving transmission and enhancing the performance of the optical system.
The WG12012-A is shaped as a thin lens, a design that minimizes optical aberrations and distortions, ensuring high-quality image transmission. The window's geometry and material properties make it an ideal choice for applications requiring broadband transmission, low auto-fluorescence, and high damage threshold.
