The 32-328 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, designed with a right-angle geometry, is crafted from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The prism features a length of 5.0 mm for both legs, making it a compact and efficient optical element. The length of the hypotenuse is 7.1 mm, which is the surface that typically undergoes total internal reflection in prism-based optical systems.
This prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial in reducing reflection losses and improving transmission, an uncoated prism can be ideal for applications where such modifications are not required or desired.
The 32-328 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications that involve visible light, such as imaging systems, beam steering, and spectroscopy.
