The 83-332 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is designed for use with lasers operating at a wavelength of 1064nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in laser technology.
The prism is constructed from UVFS, a type of fused silica, which is known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This makes it ideal for use in high-power laser systems. The prism features a right-angle design, which allows for efficient reflection and refraction of light.
The legs of the prism measure 15.0 mm each, while the length of the hypotenuse is 21.2 mm. This compact size makes the prism easy to integrate into various optical systems. The prism is coated with a laser V-coat, specifically designed for 1064nm, on both the front and right surfaces. This coating enhances the prism's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission.
In terms of geometry, the prism is a volume prism, which is a type of prism that has a triangular cross-section and is used to deviate or disperse light. The right-angle design of this prism ensures that the incident light is reflected at a right angle, making it ideal for use in applications where precise light direction is required.
