The WW71050-E3 is a high-quality wedge window offered by Thorlabs, designed to provide superior optical performance in the 7000-12000nm wavelength range. This window, with a diameter of 1 inch (25.4mm), is made from ZnSe (Zinc Selenide) material, specifically the ZnSe CONNOLLY variant, known for its excellent transmission properties in the infrared spectrum.
The window features a thickness of 5mm and a wedge angle of 0.008726646259971648 radians, or approximately 0.5 degrees. This wedge angle is designed to minimize optical interference and improve light transmission. The window's geometry is circular, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The WW71050-E3 is coated with Thorlabs' E3ZnSeARC coating on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating is specifically designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 7000-12000nm range. The coating ensures optimal performance and reduces the need for additional optical components to manage reflections.
