45-563 25 mm Dia. N-BK7 Wedge Prism; t=3 mm VIS-NIR 400-1000nm

This 45-563 optical component is a Wedge Prism, a type of prism with a triangular base and an apex angle that causes light to be refracted as it enters and exits the prism. The wedge angle of this prism is 0.31648578925188775 degrees, which is sufficient to cause a noticeable deviation in the path of light without significantly distorting the image.

The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. The diameter of the prism is 25 mm, and the thickness (t) is 3 mm. This combination of size and thickness makes the prism suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple beam deviation to more complex optical systems.

The prism is coated with edm visnir0sp2002000, a coating that is optimized for the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) regions of the spectrum, specifically from 400 to 1000 nm. This coating enhances the prism's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission.

The prism is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading supplier of optical components. According to the vendor, the prism is in stock, ensuring quick delivery for those who need it. The prism's web link is provided for easy reference and further information.
