This is the PTK1003 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism, a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. The prism is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including low dispersion and high homogeneity. The glass is equivalent to Schott N-BK7, ensuring a consistent level of quality and performance.
The prism features a right-angle design, making it ideal for applications that require light deflection at 90 degrees. It has a geometry of 10mm x 10mm x 10mm, providing a compact and efficient solution for various optical systems. The base shape of the prism is a volume shape, which means it has a uniform thickness throughout.
The prism is coated with a 10mm protected aluminium coating on the hypotenuse, specifically designed for the wavelength of 588nm. This coating enhances the prism's reflectivity and durability, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The coating also provides a protective layer against scratches and other forms of damage.
The back of the prism is coated with KNI MV2, a multi-layer anti-reflection coating that reduces surface reflections and increases transmission. This coating is designed for use in the spectral range of 450-650nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
