The 84-525 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 600 and 1050 nanometers, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in this spectral region.
The prism is made from N-BK7 glass, a common and versatile material in optical systems. N-BK7, also known as BK7, is a borosilicate crown glass with a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it an ideal choice for many optical applications. The prism's right-angle design allows for total internal reflection, which can be used to alter the path of light in a system.
The prism features a coating of EDM NIR-I std curve on both the front and right faces. This coating is designed to enhance the prism's performance in the NIR spectrum, improving transmission and reducing reflection. The coating is applied using a standard curve, ensuring consistent performance across multiple units.
In terms of dimensions, the prism has a length of 20.0 mm on each leg, and a length of 28.3 mm along the hypotenuse. The base shape is a volume prism, which is a common design for right-angle prisms. This prism is currently in stock and available for purchase, as indicated by its weblink status.
