The 84-526 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 ideal for a wide range of applications in this wavelength range.
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 excellent choice for many optical applications. The prism's geometry features two legs of 25 millimeters each and a hypotenuse of 35.4 millimeters, providing a compact and efficient design.
The prism's coating is another notable feature. Both the front and right surfaces are coated with Edmund Optics' NIR-I standard curve coating. This anti-reflection coating is designed to minimize reflection and maximize transmission in the NIR spectrum, further enhancing the prism's performance in its intended application range.
