This 39-059 UVFS Wedge Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of precision optics. The prism features a circular base shape with a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The prism's wedge angle is 0.05489060497522166 degrees, which is designed to introduce a controlled deviation in the path of light. This is particularly useful in applications such as beam steering, angle measurement, and optical path compensation.
The prism is made from UVFS (Mal-1965), a type of fused silica known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency, low autofluorescence, and high resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack. This makes the prism suitable for use in harsh environments and at extreme temperatures.
The prism's surfaces are coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 266nm, a broadband anti-reflection coating specifically designed for use at a wavelength of 266nm. This coating reduces surface reflections to less than 0.5%, improving transmission and reducing unwanted back reflections.
