This 39-094 UVFS Wedge Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of optical elements. The prism boasts a circular base shape with a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm, making it a compact yet robust solution for various optical applications.
The prism's primary function is as a Wedge Prism, which introduces a controlled deviation in the path of light. The wedge angle is 0.1447610988189137 degrees, ensuring precise light manipulation. This feature is particularly useful in applications such as beam steering, beam splitting, and angular measurement.
The prism is made from UVFS (Mal-1965), a specific type of fused silica known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to thermal shock. This material makes the prism suitable for use in a wide range of wavelengths, with a specific wavelength of 532 nm in this case.
The prism's surfaces are coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 532, a highly durable and efficient coating designed for use with laser applications. This coating ensures high transmission at the specified wavelength while providing excellent environmental stability and resistance to laser damage.
