45-072 UVFS Right Angle Prism; 10.0 mm Uncoated

The 45-072 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, with a length of 10.0 mm for both legs, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, particularly those operating at or near the visible light spectrum, with a central wavelength of 587.6 nm.

The prism is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica) material, identified as "UVFS mal- 1965" in the material database. This material is known for its excellent transparency across a broad spectrum, making it suitable for use in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared applications. The prism's geometry, with legs of equal length, allows for efficient light reflection and refraction, making it an ideal choice for right-angle manipulation of light paths.

The right-angle prism has a hypotenuse length of 14.1 mm, calculated from the geometry specifications. The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired, or where additional coatings may introduce unwanted reflections or other optical effects.
