The 84-528 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 spectral range.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low dispersion, making it a popular choice for many optical applications. The prism's right-angle design allows for efficient reflection and refraction of light, making it a versatile tool in optical systems.
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 its transmission and reducing unwanted reflections. The coating is applied using a standard curve, ensuring consistent performance across multiple units.
In terms of dimensions, the prism has a length of 50 millimeters on each leg, and a hypotenuse length of 70.7 millimeters. This size makes it suitable for use in a variety of optical systems, from compact setups to larger installations.
The prism's geometry is classified as a volume prism, which refers to its shape and the way it refracts light. This geometry is commonly used in optical systems due to its efficiency and versatility.
