The PEF4040 UVFS Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. This prism, designed for use in the UV-VIS-NIR spectrum, boasts a 40mm length and height, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The prism is made from UVFS, a material with the material ID 1965, which is specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra. This material ensures excellent optical performance and durability.
The prism is an equilateral design, meaning it has three equal sides and three equal angles. The alpha angle, which is the angle between two adjacent faces, is 1.0471975511965976 radians or approximately 60 degrees. This design ensures efficient light transmission and minimal distortion.
Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in specific applications, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as broadband transmission, ease of cleaning, and lower cost.
