The WW12012-C is a high-quality wedge window offered by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This component, designed with a circular base shape, boasts a diameter of 50.8 mm and a thickness of 12 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The wedge angle of this window is 0.008726646259971648 radians, or approximately 0.5 degrees. This subtle wedge angle is designed to minimize optical aberrations and distortions, making it ideal for use in systems where high-precision optical alignment is required.
The WW12012-C is fabricated from N-BK7, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. This material, also known as Schott glass, has a refractive index of approximately 1.5168 at 633 nm, making it an ideal choice for visible light applications.
The window features anti-reflection (AR) coatings on both the front and back surfaces. These coatings, identified as 'tho c bbar', are designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the optical system. The AR coating is optimized for the wavelength range of 1050-1700 nm, making this window particularly suitable for near-infrared applications.
