84-519 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 30.0 mm VIS-NIR 400-1000nm on Legs

The 84-519 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is designed for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically catering to wavelengths between 400 and 1000 nanometers.

The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for a wide range of optical applications.

The prism features a right-angle design, which is beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for the efficient reflection of light at 90 degrees, making it ideal for use in systems where light needs to be redirected. Secondly, the right-angle design helps to minimize beam deviation, ensuring that the light exiting the prism maintains its original direction.

The prism's geometry includes legs that measure 30 millimeters in length. The hypotenuse, which is the side opposite the right angle, measures 42.4 millimeters. This specific geometry is designed to provide optimal performance in a variety of optical systems.

The prism is coated with a special coating, edm visnir0sp2002000, on both the front and right surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the prism's performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum, further expanding its range of potential applications.
