The 48-554 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 a wide range of applications where light needs to be reflected at a 90-degree angle.
The prism is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The legs of the prism measure 35.0 mm, while the length of the hypotenuse is 49.5 mm, providing a substantial surface area for light interaction.
The prism features a Visible (VIS) 0° coating on both the front and right surfaces, which are standard curves. This coating enhances the prism's light transmission capabilities within the visible spectrum, making it suitable for applications that require high light transmission and clarity.
The back surface of the prism is aluminized, which provides a high reflectivity surface for the infrared region. This feature makes the prism particularly useful in applications where both visible and infrared light need to be managed.
