The 35-738 is a 12.5 mm diameter N-BK7 Wedge Prism with a thickness of 1.5 mm, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This prism, designed with a circular base shape, is an uncoated element, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The prism's geometry is intricately designed, featuring a wedge angle of approximately 0.198 degrees, providing precise optical deviation and dispersion. This characteristic makes it an ideal component for applications requiring beam deviation, image separation, or angular dispersion.
The material ID of this prism is n-bk7 schott, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high homogeneity, low auto-fluorescence, and superior transmission in the visible spectrum. The wavelength for this prism is 632.8 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum, making it suitable for various optical systems.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the prism's surface properties, such as its refractive index, are critical. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may have higher surface reflectivity, which could impact the overall system's efficiency.
