The 35-844 is a 12.5 mm diameter Wedge Prism, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This prism is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica) material, identified as UVFS Mal- 1965 in the vendor's catalog. The prism's base shape is circular, and it features a wedge angle of approximately 0.0549 degrees (or 5.489 milliradians).
The prism's geometry is well-defined, with a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm. The thickness is uniform across the prism, providing consistent optical properties. The wedge angle, although small, can significantly affect the path of light passing through the prism, making it a useful component in various optical systems.
Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications. For instance, it can offer greater versatility in terms of the wavelengths it can handle, as coatings often have specific wavelength ranges where they perform optimally.
