45-946 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 0.5 mm Uncoated

The 45-946 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, with a thickness of 0.5 mm, is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate crown glass, specifically from the Schott glass manufacturer, renowned for its excellent optical properties.

The prism is designed in a right-angle geometry, making it ideal for applications requiring 90-degree angular deviation. The length of the legs is 0.5 mm each, while the length of the hypotenuse is 0.7 mm, providing efficient light refraction. The base shape of the prism is a volume shape, which means it has three rectangular faces.

This prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial for reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or altering phase, an uncoated prism can be suitable for applications where such modifications are not required or desirable.

The prism is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website using the provided weblink. This prism is a versatile and reliable optical component, perfect for a wide range of applications in fields such as optics, physics, engineering, and more.
