The 84-516 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is designed for use in the visual and near-infrared spectrum, spanning wavelengths from 400 to 1000 nanometers, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of optical applications.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott AG, which is known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The N-BK7 material ensures low optical dispersion and high homogeneity, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision optical pathways.
The prism features a right-angle design, which is achieved through the precise cutting and polishing of two right-angle faces. This design allows for total internal reflection, making it an excellent choice for applications such as beam steering, beam splitting, and image reflection.
The prism's geometry includes legs of 15.0 mm and a hypotenuse length of 21.2 mm. This compact size makes it suitable for use in confined optical systems where space is at a premium.
The prism is coated with the EDM VIS-NIR 0SP2002000 coating on both the front and right faces. This broadband anti-reflection coating is designed to minimize surface reflections and increase transmission across the prism's entire spectral range. The coating ensures high transmission and low scatter, contributing to the prism's overall optical performance.
