OptoSigma's DPB-30-10H is an equilateral prism made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. The prism has a square base with dimensions of 30mm x 30mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The prism's equilateral shape, where all three angles are equal, is particularly useful in optical systems as it allows for total internal reflection, a key principle in many optical devices. The angle of incidence is 1.0471975511965976 radians, or approximately 60 degrees, which is typical for equilateral prisms.
This prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain properties of optical elements, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, uncoated prisms can be advantageous in certain applications due to their simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
The prism is designed for use at a wavelength of 632.8nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications that involve visible light, such as laser systems, optical metrology, and beam manipulation.
