I guess BK7 is fine, we're not going to be putting high power in. I just though UV fused silica would be better practice if someone wanted to repurpose the flange in a few years. Seems like a minor extra cost.
Bottom line is that I don't think we have four identical of anything we can use. Should order 1.5" W2s from CVI or somewhere else?

That was unfortunate. But why does BK7 uncompatible with the purpose? We need UV fused silica only for the high power reason, I thought.
