PTF4000 UVFS Right Angle Prism; 40 mm Uncoated
The PTF4000 UVFS Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. This right-angle prism, with dimensions of 40 mm x 40 mm x 40 mm, is made of UVFS (UV Fused Silica) material, specifically identified as "uvfs mal- 1965".
The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the prism's interaction with light needs to be as minimal as possible. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may have higher reflectivity compared to coated ones, which could affect the overall performance of the optical system.
The prism's geometry is designed in a volume base shape, which is ideal for applications requiring a compact and robust optical element. The right-angle design allows for precise refraction and reflection of light, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems.
The wavelength of this prism is 588 nm, which is in the yellow-green region of the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications that use or manipulate light in this wavelength range.
