The 47-277 N-SF11 Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, designed for use with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, is made from N-SF11 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties.
The prism features a base shape of 'Volume' and a shape of 'Equal Prism'. The geometry of the prism includes a length of face and a length of 25.00mm, with an alpha angle of approximately 1.0471975511965976 radians or 60 degrees. This equilateral design ensures that the angles between the incident light and the refracted light are equal, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of optical applications.
Notably, this prism comes uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in specific applications, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as lower cost and simplicity. However, users should be aware that uncoated prisms may exhibit higher reflectivity at the air-glass interface, which could impact performance in some situations.
