The 39-844 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-precision optical component designed for use in the ultraviolet to visible (UV-VIS) spectrum. This prism, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a right-angle prism, which means it has a 90-degree angle between its two reflecting surfaces.
The prism is made from UVFS, a type of fused silica known for its excellent transparency in the UV and visible regions. The legs of the prism measure 20.0 mm each, while the length of the hypotenuse is 28.3 mm. This geometry is designed to provide optimal refraction and reflection for light in the UV-VIS range.
The prism features a volume base shape, which is the most common and versatile type of prism base. It is coated with a UV-VIS dual-layer anti-reflection coating (edm duvvis20020000) on both the front and right surfaces, and a broadband aluminum coating (edm dprotal300200000) on the back surface. These coatings are designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission, enhancing the prism's performance in a variety of applications.
This prism is a reliable and high-performance option for applications that require precise refraction and reflection in the UV-VIS range. It is available for purchase through Edmund Optics, and the provided weblink provides current information about its availability and pricing.
