The HO-RHB-50 N-BK7 Rhomboid Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Holmarc Opto-Mechatronics. This prism, designed for use in a variety of optical systems, features a rhombic shape with dimensions of 50 x 35.4 x 70.7 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring precise optical path manipulation.
The prism is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and wide transmission range. N-BK7, also known as BK7, is a borosilicate crown glass with a refractive index of approximately 1.5168 at a wavelength of 632.8 nm, which is the wavelength specified for this prism.
The prism's geometry is defined by its base shape, which is a volume rhombic prism. The rhombic shape is characterized by two pairs of equal sides, with the pair lengths a and b being 50 mm each, and the pair lengths c and d being 35.4 mm and 70.7 mm, respectively. This unique shape allows for specific optical effects, such as beam deviation and polarization changes.
Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or adding specific optical properties, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where such enhancements are not required or desirable.
