This 35-793 optical component is a Wedge Prism, sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics. The prism is designed with a circular base shape and a diameter of 12.5 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass, specifically from the Schott glass manufacturer. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high homogeneity and low auto-fluorescence, making it a popular choice in various optical systems.
The prism has a thickness of 1.5 mm and a wedge angle of approximately 0.44°. This wedge angle, combined with the prism's high-quality glass, makes it ideal for applications requiring precise angle control and minimal optical distortion.
The prism's coating is another notable feature. Both the front and back surfaces are coated with the EDM VIS-0 STD curve coating. This anti-reflection coating is designed to minimize surface reflections and increase transmission in the visible spectrum, specifically between 425 and 675 nm.
