45-385 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 2.0 mm MgF2 Legs/Aluminized on Hypotenuse

The 45-385 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is made of N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The prism's right-angle design allows for precise refraction and reflection of light, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

The prism features 2.0 mm MgF2-coated legs and an aluminized hypotenuse. The MgF2 coating, or Magnesium Fluoride, is a broadband anti-reflection coating that reduces surface reflections and increases transmission. This coating is standard on both legs of the prism. The hypotenuse, the longest side of the prism, is aluminized. This coating enhances reflectivity, making the prism particularly suitable for use in laser systems and other applications where high reflectivity is required.

The geometry of the prism includes legs that measure 2 mm in length and a hypotenuse that measures 2.8 mm. The prism's shape is a right angle, making it a versatile tool for various optical applications. The prism's coating and geometry are designed to work optimally at a wavelength of 587.6 nm.
