47-789 UVFS Right Angle Prism; 50.0 mm Uncoated

The 47-789 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, specifically identified as UVFS MAL-1965. This material is known for its excellent transparency and low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and stability.

The prism features a right-angle design, with the length of each leg measuring 50 mm. The length of the hypotenuse is 70.7 mm, calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, given the right-angle design. This geometry allows for efficient and precise light reflection and refraction.

The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers 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 anti-reflection is not required, or where cost or simplicity is a consideration.
