47-788 UVFS Right Angle Prism; 40.0 mm Uncoated

The 47-788 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, designed for use in the visible spectrum, has a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The prism is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica) material, identified as UVFS Mal- 1965 in the material database. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low auto-fluorescence, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision optics.

In terms of geometry, the prism features two legs of 40 mm each, and a hypotenuse length of 56.6 mm. The prism is designed in a right-angle configuration, which is beneficial for applications that require total internal reflection. The right-angle design allows for efficient and precise light manipulation, making it a popular choice for various optical systems.

The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers of anti-reflective or other coatings. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in certain applications, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in situations where simplicity, cost-effectiveness, or specific optical properties are required.
