This 35-797 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 low dispersion and high transmission across a wide spectrum. The glass is sourced from Schott, a renowned German manufacturer, ensuring top-tier quality.
The prism has a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm, making it compact and lightweight. The wedge angle is 0.13409888241848034 degrees, providing a subtle deviation in the path of light. This angle is designed to minimize optical aberrations and distortions, ensuring clear and accurate optical transmission.
The prism's coating is "edm visnir0sp2002000", a broadband anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission across the visible and near-infrared spectrum (400-1000nm). This coating reduces surface reflections, improving the prism's efficiency and overall performance.
