35-796 12.5 mm Dia. N-BK7 Wedge Prism; t=1.5 mm VIS-NIR 400-1000nm

This 35-796 optical component is a Wedge Prism, a type of prism with a triangular base and one angled face, designed by Edmund Optics. The prism is made from N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity. This specific prism has a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The prism's coating, edm visnir0sp2002000, is applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically from 400 to 1000 nm. This coating enhances the prism's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the optical system.

The wedge angle of this prism is 0.06748664618686474 degrees. This angle, combined with the prism's refractive index, causes light to be refracted or bent as it passes through the prism. This property is exploited in many optical systems to deviate, disperse, or reflect light.
