34-401 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 50.0 mm NIR I 600-1050nm on Hypotenuse

This is a right-angle prism made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. The prism, sourced from Edmund Optics, is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) region, specifically between 600 and 1050 nanometers, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in this spectral range.

The prism features a hypotenuse coated with EDM NIR-I std curve, which is a standard coating for near-infrared applications. This coating enhances the prism's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission in the NIR region.

In terms of geometry, the prism has two legs, each measuring 50 millimeters, and a hypotenuse that measures 70.7 millimeters, following the right-angle triangle geometry. This specific design allows the prism to reflect and refract light at precise angles, making it an essential component in various optical systems.

The prism's material, N-BK7, is a type of borosilicate glass known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity, making it an ideal choice for optical systems that require high precision and stability.
