The 35-901 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum, is made from UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent transparency and resistance to thermal shock. The prism's right-angle design allows for precise refraction and reflection of light, making it ideal for a wide range of optical applications.
The prism has a length of 10.0 mm for both legs, and a hypotenuse length of 14.1 mm. This compact size makes it suitable for use in compact optical systems. The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a specific coating is not required or desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may have higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths compared to coated prisms.
The prism is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications where visibility and precision are key, such as in metrology, spectroscopy, and beam steering.
