This 39-057 UVFS Wedge Prism is a high-quality optical component designed for use in applications where precise manipulation of light is required. The prism, sourced from the renowned optical vendor Edmund Optics, boasts a 12.5 mm diameter and a thickness of 1.5 mm, making it a compact yet robust solution for various optical setups.
The prism's wedge angle is 0.01832595714594046 degrees, providing a subtle yet effective deviation of light paths. This feature is particularly useful in applications such as beam steering, angle compensation, and dispersion management. The prism is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica), a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide spectrum, low auto-fluorescence, and high resistance to thermal shock and chemical etching.
The prism's surfaces are coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat, specifically designed for the 266nm wavelength. This coating enhances the prism's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission, thereby improving overall system efficiency. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the prism, ensuring optimal performance from all angles.
