The 1-PR-1-0254 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Altechna, a leading vendor in the field. This prism is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties and durability.
The prism features a right-angle design, making it ideal for applications that require light to be reflected at 90 degrees. The geometry of the prism is uniform, with each side measuring 25.4 millimeters, ensuring consistent performance and ease of integration into various optical systems.
This prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain properties of a prism, such as its transmission or reflection characteristics, an uncoated prism can offer advantages in terms of simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with a wide range of wavelengths.
The prism is designed to operate at a wavelength of 632.8 nanometers, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications, including laser systems, interferometry, and optical metrology.
