This 35-800 12.5 mm Dia. N-BK7 Wedge Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. It features a nominal wedge angle of 10 degrees and a 12.5 mm diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The prism is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, specifically designed for use in the 400-1000nm range.
The prism has a thickness of 1.5 mm, providing a balance between durability and light manipulation capabilities. It is coated with the EDM VIS-NIR 0SP2002000 coating on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance in the visible and near-infrared regions. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving transmission and overall system efficiency.
The shape of the prism is a wedge, which is ideal for applications requiring beam deviation or dispersion. The wedge angle of approximately 0.3165 degrees allows for precise control of the light path, making this prism a versatile tool in optical systems.
