35-906 UVFS Right Angle Prism; 25.0 mm Uncoated

The 35-906 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 has a right-angle design, making it ideal for applications requiring the deflection of light by 90 degrees.

The prism's dimensions are particularly noteworthy. It features legs of 25.0 mm and a hypotenuse length of 35.4 mm, providing a substantial surface area for light interaction. The right-angle design ensures efficient light reflection, making this prism suitable for a wide range of applications, including spectroscopy, interferometry, and beam steering.

The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain properties of optical components, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications. For instance, it can provide greater flexibility in wavelength selection and can be more cost-effective.

This prism is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. However, due to the properties of UV fused silica, it can be used across a broader spectral range, making it a versatile choice for many optical systems.
