This 35-794 optical component is a Wedge Prism, a type of prism that introduces a controlled deviation in the path of light. The prism is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor in the optical industry. It 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 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent optical properties. The thickness of the prism is 1.5 mm, and it has a wedge angle of approximately 0.016872 degrees. This wedge angle introduces a precise deviation in the light path, making the prism ideal for applications such as beam steering, beam splitting, and angular measurement.
The prism is coated with EDM VisNIR0SP2002000 on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to provide high transmission across the visible and near-infrared spectrum, from 400 to 1000 nm. This makes the prism suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including imaging, spectroscopy, and laser systems.
