The RAP-050-C is a right-angle prism crafted from N-BK7, a high-quality glass manufactured by Schott. This prism, sourced from CVI Laser Optics, is uncoated and has a dimension of 12.7mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The right-angle prism is a type of volume prism, characterized by its triangular shape and the right angle between its two reflecting surfaces. This design allows for total internal reflection, making it an ideal component for redirecting light paths within optical systems.
The N-BK7 material, also known as Borosilicate Crown, is renowned for its excellent optical properties, including low dispersion and high transmission across a broad spectrum. This makes the RAP-050-C particularly suitable for applications involving visible light, such as lasers and beam manipulation systems.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain properties, such as transmission or reflection, an uncoated prism can offer advantages in terms of simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with various optical materials and coatings.
