The HO-EPFC-10 F2 Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Holmarc Opto-Mechatronics. This prism is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, offering excellent performance and durability.
The prism is equilateral in shape, meaning all three sides (a, b, and c) measure 10mm each. This uniformity ensures consistent light refraction and minimal distortion, making it ideal for applications requiring precise optical alignment. The prism's base shape is classified as a volume prism, indicating its ability to refract light over a larger volume, thereby increasing its optical efficiency.
The prism is made from F2 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It has a refractive index of approximately 1.62 at a wavelength of 632.8nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This refractive index allows for efficient light bending and focusing.
The prism is coated with a single layer of MgF2, a material known for its high transparency and low reflectivity. This coating, applied to the front, left, and back surfaces of the prism, reduces surface reflections and increases transmission, enhancing the prism's overall performance. The coating is applied at 0 AOI (Angle of Incidence), ensuring optimal performance across a wide range of incident angles.
