The 48-385 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 1064nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a variety of applications in fields such as laser technology and optical communications.
The mirror is constructed from N-BK7 glass, a type of borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is particularly prized for its low dispersion and high Abbe number, which contribute to superior image quality. The mirror's right-angle geometry allows for precise reflection at 90 degrees, making it ideal for applications requiring precise optical alignment.
The hypotenuse of the mirror is coated with a protected gold coating, identified as 'edm prgold 700-10000'. This coating provides high reflectivity across a broad spectrum, from 700nm to 10000nm. The 'protected' designation indicates that the coating is durable and resistant to environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance.
The mirror's dimensions are also noteworthy. Each leg of the mirror measures 6.25mm, while the length of the hypotenuse is 8.8mm. This compact size makes the mirror suitable for use in compact optical systems.
