84-517 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 20.0 mm VIS-NIR 400-1000nm on Legs

The 84-517 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 suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The prism is constructed from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high homogeneity and low auto-fluorescence, making it a popular choice for many optical systems.

The prism features a right-angle design, with two legs of 20.0 mm each and a hypotenuse length of 28.3 mm. This design allows for efficient and versatile use in various optical configurations. The prism's geometry is defined as a 'Volume' shape, indicating that it is a solid prism rather than a hollow one.

The prism's surfaces are 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 optimize transmission across the prism's entire operational wavelength range.
