The HO-PP-10 N-BK7 Penta Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Holmarc Opto-Mechatronics. This prism, designed for use in a variety of optical systems, is uncoated and features a 10mm edge length.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision optical applications due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity. The N-BK7 designation indicates that this prism meets the specifications set by Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass.
The Penta Prism design is a particular type of prism that deviates an incoming beam by 90 degrees, regardless of its orientation. This is achieved with a beam deviation angle of 1.5707963267948966 radians (or approximately 90 degrees). The prism's geometry is defined by its 'a', 'b', and 'c' parameters, all of which are 10mm, indicating a cube-like shape.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired, or where additional coatings might introduce unwanted reflections or other optical effects.
