This 49-446 Wedge Prism, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for a wide range of applications. The prism features a circular base shape with a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, providing excellent optical performance and durability.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a popular optical glass from Schott, known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. This material is particularly suitable for applications in the visible spectrum, as indicated by the VIS designation in the item name. The prism is designed to work optimally with light in the 425-675 nm range, making it ideal for use in a variety of visible light applications.
The prism features a wedge angle of 0.44040416614348515 degrees, which is precisely controlled to ensure consistent performance. This wedge angle can be used to introduce a known, controlled phase shift between two beams of light, making the prism useful in interferometry and other applications where precise control over light is required.
The prism's surfaces are coated with the EDM VIS-0 std curve coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the prism's performance in the visible spectrum, reducing reflections and increasing transmission. The coating status is listed as 'in stock', indicating that this prism is readily available for immediate use.
