The SF11 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from the reputable vendor 3DOptix. This prism, with a right-angle shape, is a type of reflective optical element used to bend light through a 90-degree angle. The prism is made of SF11 Schott glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties, including high refractive index and low dispersion.
The prism's dimensions are particularly noteworthy. It has a base length of 25 millimeters, providing a substantial surface area for light reflection. The height, or the length of the hypotenuse, is 35.4 millimeters, which contributes to the prism's overall volume and robustness. This size makes it suitable for applications that require substantial light manipulation.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain optical properties, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where such enhancements are not required or desirable.
