PTF1600 UVFS Right Angle Prism; 16 mm Uncoated
The PTF1600 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 applications that require high precision and durability.
The prism features a right-angle design, which is a common configuration for optical prisms. This design allows for the efficient reflection and refraction of light, making it suitable for use in systems that require light to be redirected or split. The geometry of the prism is defined by its three dimensions, all of which are 16 mm, providing a compact and efficient optical solution.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in certain applications, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as lower cost, simpler manufacturing, and the ability to be used in a wider range of wavelengths.
