The WW90530-E3 is a high-quality wedge window offered by Thorlabs, designed with a germanium burnett base material and a diameter of 0.5 inches (12.7 mm). This optical component is specifically engineered for use within the wavelength range of 7000-12000 nm, making it an excellent choice for applications in the near and short-wave infrared spectrum.
The window features a thickness of 3 mm and a wedge angle of 0.008726646259971648 radians (approximately 0.5 degrees) to minimize internally-reflected light and improve overall system performance. The wedge shape further reduces ghosting and other unwanted optical effects, ensuring optimal image quality and system efficiency.
Both the front and back surfaces of the WW90530-E3 are coated with Thorlabs' tho e3gearc700012000 anti-reflective coating, which is designed to provide excellent transmission and reduce surface reflections. This coating enhances the window's performance by minimizing losses due to reflection, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the window and improving overall system efficiency.
