The 311-0103E is a precision wedge prism, sourced from EKSMA Optics, offering a 12.7 mm diameter and a wedge angle of 0.05236°. This prism is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The N-BK7 Schott designation indicates that the glass meets the specifications of the renowned German glass manufacturer Schott.
The prism's geometry is defined by its diameter and thickness. With a diameter of 12.7 mm, it provides a decent light-gathering capacity. The thickness of 6 mm, combined with the wedge angle, contributes to the prism's unique optical properties. The wedge prism design is particularly useful for applications requiring beam deviation, such as beam steering or splitting.
Notably, this prism is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to optical components to enhance their performance, such as increasing transmission, reducing reflection, or adding specific wavelength selectivity. However, this prism's uncoated state offers versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where specific coatings are not required.
