45-396 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 45.0 mm MgF2 Legs/Aluminized on Hypotenuse

This is a 45-396 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism, a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. The 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 total internal reflection, making it ideal for applications such as beam deflection, image reflection, and light splitting.

The prism features 45.0 mm long legs and a hypotenuse length of 63.6 mm, providing a substantial surface area for light interaction. The legs are coated with MgF2, a broadband anti-reflection coating that reduces surface reflections and improves transmission. The hypotenuse, on the other hand, is aluminized, which enhances reflectivity and makes it suitable for use in laser applications.

The coating on the prism is standard curve, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of wavelengths. The vendor, Edmund Optics, guarantees the prism's availability and provides a valid web link for further information and purchase.
