The 37-621 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is designed for use with lasers operating at a wavelength of 266nm, making it ideal for a variety of applications in the UV spectrum.
The prism is constructed from UVFS, a material with a refractive index of 1.454 at 266nm, ensuring optimal performance in its intended use. The prism features a right-angle design, with legs measuring 25mm in length and a hypotenuse length of 35.4mm. This design allows for efficient and precise light manipulation, making it a versatile tool in optical systems.
The 37-621 UVFS Right Angle Prism is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 266, which is specifically designed for use with 266nm lasers. This coating provides excellent laser damage threshold and high transmission, ensuring reliable and efficient operation. The coating is applied to both the front and right faces of the prism, providing comprehensive protection and performance enhancement.
In terms of shape, the prism is a Volume prism, which is a type of right-angle prism with a triangular cross-section. This shape is particularly useful for applications that require total internal reflection, as it allows for efficient and predictable light manipulation.
