This 35-802 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 for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically catering to wavelengths between 400 and 1000 nanometers.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type in the optical industry known for its excellent optical properties. This material is identified by its Schott glass ID. The prism has a diameter of 12.5 millimeters and a thickness of 1.5 millimeters, making it compact and suitable for various applications.
The wedge angle of this prism is 1.5 degrees, introducing a precise deviation in the light path. The front and back surfaces of the prism are coated with "edm visnir0sp2002000", a coating that enhances its performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum.
