The 32-551 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, designed with a right-angle geometry, is 30.0 mm in length along its legs and has a hypotenuse length of 42.4 mm. It is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass, specifically from the Schott glass catalog, which is renowned for its excellent optical properties and low auto-fluorescence.
The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired, or where cost is a significant factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may exhibit higher reflectivity at the air-glass interface, which could impact the overall system performance.
