49-405 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism Mirror; 3.0 mm Enhanced Aluminum 450-650nm on Hypotenuse

The 49-405 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 visible spectrum, with a peak wavelength of 588 nm. It is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold.

The mirror features a right-angle prism shape, which is ideal for redirecting light at 90-degree angles. The geometry of the prism includes three legs of equal length and a hypotenuse measuring 4.2 mm. This specific model is coated with 3.0 mm of enhanced aluminum on the hypotenuse, providing superior reflectivity for wavelengths between 450 and 650 nm.

The enhanced aluminum coating is denoted as 'edm enh al 0 2002000' in the item data. This coating is known for its durability and high reflectivity, making it a popular choice for many optical applications. The mirror's coating is applied to the hypotenuse, ensuring optimal performance when used in its intended orientation.
