The PTF1500 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. This prism, designed for use in the visible light spectrum, has a wavelength of 588 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The prism is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica) material, identified as "uvfs mal- 1965" in the item data. This material is known for its excellent transparency and resistance to thermal shock, making it an ideal choice for optical systems that require high performance and durability.
The prism's geometry is defined by its dimensions, with all sides measuring 15 mm. This cube-like shape, combined with the right-angle design, allows for efficient reflection and refraction of light, making it a versatile tool in optical systems.
Notably, this prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain properties of optical components, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, an uncoated prism can offer advantages in specific applications, such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to handle a broader range of wavelengths without the risk of coating damage.
