The 45-947 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is designed with a right-angle geometry, making it ideal for applications that require light deflection or reflection at precise angles.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass commonly used in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties. Schott, a renowned glass manufacturer, produces this specific type of N-BK7, ensuring a high level of quality and consistency.
The prism has a base shape of volume and a length of legs measuring 1 mm each. The length of the hypotenuse is 1.4 mm. This compact size makes it suitable for use in compact optical systems where space is at a premium.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired, or where cost considerations are a factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may exhibit higher levels of reflection, which could impact the overall performance of the optical system.
The prism is currently in stock and available for purchase through the Edmund Optics website. Detailed specifications and purchasing information can be found at the following link: https://www.edmundoptics.com/p/1mm-uncoated-n-bk7-right-angle-prism/6448/
