47-625 N-BK7 Rhomboid Prism; 3.5 x 5 x 7.1 mm Uncoated

The 47-625 N-BK7 Rhomboid Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, with its unique rhombic shape, is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, offering precise refraction and reflection properties.

The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Schott glass, is widely used in optical systems due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity. The N-BK7 designation indicates that this prism is made from a high-quality, consistent batch of glass, ensuring reliable and predictable optical performance.

The prism's geometry is defined by its dimensions: a = 5 mm, b = 5 mm, c = 3.5 mm, and d = 7.1 mm. This rhomboid shape, characterized by two pairs of equal sides and equal angles between each pair, is a common design in optical prisms. The angles and dimensions of this prism are carefully controlled to ensure precise refraction and reflection of light.

This prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in certain applications, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in situations where broadband transmission is required, or where the prism will be used in a vacuum or other harsh environment.
