The 49-428 N-BK7 Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism, designed for the visible spectrum, boasts a wavelength of 632.8 nm and is crafted from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties.
The prism's geometry is defined by its dimensions: a length of 20 mm, a base width of 79.8 mm, and a height of 20 mm. The dove prism shape, characterized by its unique geometry, is designed to rotate an image by 180 degrees around its vertical axis when light passes through it. This makes it an ideal choice for various applications, including beam steering, image rotation, and optical image inversion.
The prism's surfaces are coated with the EDM VIS-0 standard curve on both the front and back faces. This coating enhances its performance in the visible spectrum, specifically within the 425-675 nm range. The coating ensures high transmission, low reflectivity, and excellent durability, making this prism suitable for use in demanding optical systems.
