PTK4003 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 40 mm Protected Aluminium 450-650nm Hypotenuse

The PTK4003 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Knight Optical. This prism is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically optimized for wavelengths between 450 and 650 nanometers.

The prism is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. The N-BK7 designation refers to the type of glass used, which is manufactured by Schott, a leading glass manufacturer known for its high-quality optical materials.

The prism features a right-angle design, which is commonly used to change the direction of light propagation. This design is particularly useful in applications where space is limited, as it allows for a compact and efficient optical layout.

The prism's geometry is defined by its three dimensions, all of which are 40 millimeters. This cube-like shape, also known as a volume prism, provides a large surface area for light to interact with, enhancing its optical performance.

The prism's coating is another notable feature. It is protected with a 450-650nm hypotenuse coating, specifically a kni mv2 coating. This coating is designed to protect the prism's surface from environmental factors, such as dust and moisture, while also enhancing its optical performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission.
