The WW51050-D is a high-quality wedged window, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This component, with a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm), is made from Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) and features a wedge angle of 0.008726646259971648 radians, or approximately 0.5 degrees. The window has a thickness of 5 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The WW51050-D is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary AR coating, specifically the tho dcaf2arc16503000 coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to optimize performance in the 1650-3000 nm wavelength range, providing excellent transmission characteristics and durability.
This wedged window is a type of optical element that is used to deviate or refract light by a specific angle, depending on the wedge angle and the refractive index of the material. It is often used in beam splitting, beam shaping, and other applications where precise control over light propagation is required.
