The 83-319 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component designed for use with 355nm lasers, sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics. This prism is specifically coated with a 355nm laser V-coat on both legs, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
The prism is made from UVFS material, specifically identified as UVFS MAL-1965, which is a type of fused silica. This material is chosen for its excellent transmission properties and resistance to thermal shock. The prism's geometry features legs that measure 12.5mm each, and a hypotenuse that measures 17.7mm. This right-angle design allows for efficient reflection and refraction of light, making it ideal for a wide range of optical applications.
The base shape of this prism is a volume prism, which is a type of prism that has a triangular base and rectangular sides. This shape is often used in optical systems because it can be used to deviate, disperse, or reflect light at specific angles. The prism's coating, edm las v-coat 355, is applied to both the front and right surfaces, providing enhanced laser damage threshold and improved environmental stability.
