The HO-EPBC-5 N-BK7 Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component designed for a wide range of applications. Manufactured by Holmarc Opto-Mechatronics, this prism is constructed from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold.
The prism features an equilateral design, meaning all three sides (a, b, and c) are of equal length, measuring 5mm each. This geometric configuration allows for efficient and versatile use in various optical systems. The base shape of the prism is classified as a volume prism, further enhancing its functionality.
The prism is coated with a single layer of Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2), which is applied to all surfaces (front, left, and back). This coating reduces surface reflections and increases transmission, making it suitable for use in laser applications and other systems where high transmission is required. The coating is specified as "hol mgf2 0 aoi," indicating a high-quality, durable coating with a wide angle of incidence (AOI) range.
For those interested in the prism's material properties, it is made of N-BK7 glass, a type of borosilicate crown glass. This material has a refractive index of approximately 1.5168 at 632.8nm, making it an ideal choice for many optical applications.
