32-998 N-BK7 Dove Prism; 5 mm Uncoated

The 32-998 N-BK7 Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, with a base shape of "Volume" and a shape of "Dove Prism," is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties.

The prism has a geometry defined by its dimensions a, b, c, and d, which measure 5 mm, 20.64 mm, 5 mm, and 7.07 mm respectively. The wavelength of this prism is 632.8 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The Dove Prism is a type of prism that is used for image and beam rotation. It is named after its inventor, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. The unique design of this prism allows for the rotation of an image or beam by 180 degrees without any deviation in the beam path.

The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications due to its lower cost and simpler manufacturing process.

The prism's current web link status is "Valid - in stock," indicating that it is readily available for purchase and use in your optical systems.
