The 311-0105E is a precision wedge prism, part of EKSMA Optics' extensive catalog of optical elements. This prism boasts a circular base shape with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a thickness of 6 mm, making it a compact yet robust option for various applications.
The wedge angle of this prism is 0.08726646259971647 radians, or approximately 5 degrees. This specific angle is often used in optical systems to deviate or redirect light paths, making this prism suitable for a wide range of applications, from beam steering to image displacement.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a popular optical glass from Schott. N-BK7 is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number, low dispersion, and high homogeneity, making it an ideal choice for many optical systems.
Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical elements by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or adding specific wavelength selectivity, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where cost, simplicity, or specific optical properties are a priority.
