49-420 N-BK7 Rhomboid Prism; 35.4 x 50 x 70.7 mm Uncoated

The 49-420 N-BK7 Rhomboid Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, with its unique rhombic shape, measures 35.4 mm in width, 50 mm in height, and 70.7 mm in length, making it a substantial addition to any optical system.

The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision optical systems due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and its ability to provide high transmission across a wide range of wavelengths, including the visible spectrum. The wavelength specified for this prism is 632.8 nm.

The prism's geometry is defined by its 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd' dimensions. In this case, 'a' and 'b' are equal, measuring 50 mm each, while 'c' is 35.4 mm and 'd' is 70.7 mm. This particular prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to enhance its optical properties.

The prism's base shape is 'Volume', and its shape is 'Rhombic Prism'. This type of prism is often used in optical systems for beam deviation, dispersion, and reflection. It's important to note that the prism's uncoated state may affect its performance in certain applications, particularly those requiring high reflectivity or low absorption.
