47-027 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism Mirror; 5.0 mm Protected Gold 700-10000nm on Hypotenuse

The 47-027 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism Mirror is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This mirror is specifically designed for use in the 700-10000nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in infrared spectroscopy, laser systems, and other areas where broadband infrared reflection is required.

The mirror is made from N-BK7 glass, a common and versatile material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and relatively low cost. The N-BK7 Schott designation indicates that this mirror is made from high-quality glass that meets the specifications of the Schott glass company, a leading manufacturer of optical glass.

The mirror's right angle geometry is a key feature, allowing for 90-degree reflection of incident light. This is particularly useful in optical systems where space is limited and a compact, efficient design is required. The mirror has legs that measure 5mm in length and a hypotenuse that measures 7.1mm, providing a robust and stable platform for optical interactions.

The mirror's surface is coated with a protected gold coating, specifically designed for the 700-10000nm wavelength range. This coating provides high reflectivity and excellent durability, making it suitable for use in demanding environments. The 'protected' designation indicates that the coating is protected by a layer of transparent material, which helps to prevent damage and increase the longevity of the mirror.
