45-389 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 12.5 mm MgF2 Legs/Aluminized on Hypotenuse

The 45-389 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 various applications.

The prism features 12.5 mm MgF2-coated legs and an aluminized hypotenuse. The MgF2 coating, known for its low loss and high damage threshold, is applied to the legs to enhance the prism's durability and performance. The hypotenuse is aluminized, which provides high reflectivity, particularly in the visible and near-infrared regions.

The geometry of this prism is carefully designed. The length of the legs is 12.5 mm, and the length of the hypotenuse is 17.7 mm, providing the necessary dimensions for optimal light manipulation. The base shape of the prism is volume, which is a common configuration for right-angle prisms.

This prism is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications that operate within this wavelength range. The coating on the prism is standard curve for the front and right surfaces, and DPROTAL300200000 for the back surface, ensuring consistent performance across all surfaces.
