The 84-864 25 mm Dia. UVFS Wedge Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This uncoated prism boasts a circular base shape with a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The prism's wedge angle is 0.1447610988189137 degrees, which is designed to refract or deviate light by a specific angle. This feature is particularly useful in applications such as beam steering, image splitting, and angular measurement.
The prism is made of UVFS (UV Fused Silica) material, identified as UVFS Mal- 1965 in the material ID. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmittance in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions. It also exhibits low autofluorescence and high resistance to thermal shock and laser-induced damage.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where specific coating properties are not required.
The prism's geometry and material make it compatible with a wavelength of 355 nm. This wavelength falls within the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum and is commonly used in various applications, including laser systems and fluorescence microscopy.
