48-556 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 45.0 mm VIS 0° Legs/Aluminized on Hypotenuse

The 48-556 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is designed with a right-angle geometry, featuring two legs of equal length and a hypotenuse that forms a 90-degree angle between them. The legs of this prism measure 45.0 mm each, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The prism is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This specific prism is designed for use in the visible spectrum, with a central wavelength of 587.6 nm.

The prism's surfaces are coated with specific coatings to enhance its performance. The front and right surfaces are coated with an EDM D Vis0 Std Curve coating, which is a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for use in the visible spectrum. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the prism.

The back surface of the prism is coated with an EDM DPROTAL300200000 coating, which is a high-reflectivity coating. This coating is designed to reflect light at a specific angle, making it suitable for use in applications such as beam steering or redirecting.
