The 86-621 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This prism is made of N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The prism's geometry features two legs of equal length and a hypotenuse, resulting in a right angle configuration. The legs measure 1 unit each, while the hypotenuse is slightly longer at 1.4 units.
This prism is coated with a 1.0 mm protected aluminum coating, specifically designed for the hypotenuse surface. The coating, identified as edm protal452008000, provides broadband reflection in the 400-2000nm range. This makes the prism suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, beam steering, image reflection, and light splitting.
The prism's right angle design allows for efficient and precise light manipulation, making it a versatile tool in various optical systems. Its N-BK7 Schott glass material ensures high optical quality, low auto-fluorescence, and excellent thermal stability. The 1.0 mm protected aluminum coating enhances its functionality by providing high reflectivity across a broad spectrum.
