PEF1515 UVFS Equilateral Prism; 15mm Uncoated

The PEF1515 UVFS Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. This prism is a type of equilateral prism, which means it has three identical faces, each with a 60-degree angle. The base shape is a volume prism, and the shape is equal, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.

The prism is made from UVFS, a material with the ID 1965. This material is specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectrum, making it a versatile choice for many optical systems. The wavelength for this prism is 632.8 nm.

The geometry of the prism is defined by its length, height, and alpha angle. The length and height are both 15 mm, and the alpha angle is 1.0471975511965976 radians. This geometry, combined with the equilateral shape, makes the prism suitable for use in systems that require precise angular deviation and dispersion.

The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired, or where the prism will be used in a system with other coated elements. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, so they may require more frequent cleaning and maintenance.
