PCF3030 Calcium Fluoride Right Angle Prism; 30 mm Uncoated

The PCF3030 Calcium Fluoride Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. This prism, measuring 30 mm in all dimensions, is a right-angle prism, which is a type of reflecting prism that reflects light through 90 degrees, making it ideal for a wide range of optical applications.

The prism is made of Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), a material with the Malusite-1963 crystal structure, which is known for its excellent optical properties. The wavelength of operation for this prism is 588 nm, making it suitable for use in applications that involve this wavelength.

The geometry of the prism is a regular hexahedron, with all sides measuring 30 mm. This cubic shape, also known as a volume prism, is often used in optical systems due to its simplicity and versatility. The base shape of the prism is a right angle, which is where it gets its name.

Notably, this prism is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to optical components to enhance their performance, but an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications. For instance, uncoated prisms do not introduce additional chromatic aberration, which can be a critical factor in some optical systems.
