65-591 N-SF11 Equilateral Prism; 40.00mm Uncoated
The 65-591 N-SF11 Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is characterized by its uncoated surface and equilateral shape, making it an ideal choice for various optical applications.
The prism is fabricated from N-SF11 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It has a length of 40.00mm along each face, resulting in a cube-like structure with a base angle of approximately 67.38 degrees. This base angle, denoted as alpha (α), is a crucial parameter in prism design and is carefully controlled to ensure optimal performance.
The prism is designed to operate at a wavelength of 632.8nm, a common wavelength used in many optical systems. It is important to note that the prism does not have any coating, which may affect its performance in certain applications. However, its uncoated nature can be advantageous in situations where minimal reflection or dispersion is required.
