The 37-636 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 1064nm, making it ideal for a range of applications in fields such as materials processing, spectroscopy, and interferometry.
The prism is constructed from UVFS material, which is known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The right-angle design of the prism allows for efficient reflection and refraction of light, making it a versatile tool in optical systems. The legs of the prism measure 12.5mm each, while the hypotenuse measures 17.7mm, providing a substantial surface area for light interaction.
The prism features a laser V-coat 1064nm coating on both the front and right surfaces. This coating is specifically designed to enhance the performance of the prism when used with 1064nm lasers, reducing reflection and increasing transmission. The coating is applied using Edmund Optics' advanced V-coat technology, ensuring high uniformity and durability.
In terms of geometry, the prism is a Volume prism, which refers to its right-angle shape and the fact that it has three volumes (or spaces) separated by two right angles. This design is common in optical systems due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
