The 45-403 N-BK7 Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, with a base shape of "Volume" and a shape of "Dove Prism," is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties.
The prism has dimensions of 25mm x 103.18mm x 25mm, making it suitable for various applications. The wavelength of this prism is 632.8nm, indicating its compatibility with red light sources. The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated prisms are often preferred for specific applications due to their reduced reflectivity.
The Dove Prism is a type of prism that is used for image rotation and reversal. It is named after its inventor, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. The unique design of this prism allows it to rotate an image by 180 degrees without changing its orientation. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as beam steering, image rotation, and optical image stabilization.
