The 48-387 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism Mirror is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This mirror is designed for use in a wide range of applications, with a particular focus on the 1064nm wavelength.
The mirror is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for a wide range of optical applications. The mirror features a right-angle prism shape, which is designed to reflect light at a 90-degree angle. This makes it ideal for use in systems where light needs to be redirected.
The mirror's hypotenuse is coated with a protected gold coating, specifically the EDM PRGOLD 700-10000. This coating is designed to provide high reflectivity across a wide range of wavelengths, from 700nm to 10000nm. The 'protected' aspect of the coating refers to a layer of protection that is applied over the gold to increase its durability and resistance to environmental factors.
The mirror's geometry includes legs that measure 15mm and a hypotenuse that measures 21.2mm. This specific size and shape make it suitable for use in compact optical systems where space is at a premium.
