The 32-525 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is characterized by its right-angle geometry, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications where beam deviation and reflection are required.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass commonly used in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Schott glass, offers a high Abbe number, low dispersion, and a refractive index of approximately 1.5168 at the wavelength of 587.6 nm.
The prism has a volume base shape, with two legs of equal length and a hypotenuse that measures 2.8 mm. The length of the legs is 2 mm each, contributing to the prism's compact size and making it suitable for use in confined spaces.
Notably, this prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial for reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or altering dispersion, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired.
