The WW30530-D is a high-quality wedge window, sourced from the renowned optical component manufacturer, Thorlabs. This particular model boasts a 0.5-inch diameter and a thickness of 3mm, making it a versatile option for various optical applications.
The window is constructed from sapphire, a material known for its exceptional hardness, chemical inertness, and high thermal conductivity. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require durability and resistance to harsh environments. The sapphire material also provides excellent optical transmission in the 1650-3000nm range, making it suitable for near-infrared (NIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) applications.
The WW30530-D features a wedge angle of 0.008726646259971648 degrees, designed to minimize optical aberrations and improve light transmission. This feature is particularly beneficial in interferometry and other precision optical measurements.
Both the front and back surfaces of the window are coated with tho dsapphirearc1650, a proprietary coating developed by Thorlabs. This coating enhances the window's optical performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission. It also provides excellent environmental stability, ensuring the window maintains its performance even in challenging conditions.
