65-592 N-SF11 Equilateral Prism; 45.00mm Uncoated

The 65-592 N-SF11 Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from the renowned vendor, Edmund Optics. This prism is designed with an equilateral shape, featuring three identical faces, each measuring 45.00mm in length. The prism's base shape is classified as a volume prism, indicating its ability to refract and redirect light efficiently within a given volume.

The prism is crafted from N-SF11 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. The wavelength for this prism is 632.8nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The geometry of the prism is designed to provide a refractive angle of approximately 1.0471975511965976 radians, or 60 degrees, which is typical for equilateral prisms.

Notably, this prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial in reducing reflection, controlling dispersion, or enhancing transmission, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as lower cost, simplicity, and the ability to be used in a wider range of wavelengths without the risk of coating damage.
