The KRPB-10-10H N-BK7 Knife Edge Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from OptoSigma. This prism, designed with a knife edge, is a type of right angle prism, characterized by its ability to reflect and refract light at specific angles, making it an essential component in various optical systems.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass, which is known for its excellent optical properties, including low optical dispersion and high transmission in the visible spectrum. The 'n-bk7 schott' designation indicates that this material meets the specifications of the Schott glass company, a leading manufacturer of high-precision optical glass.
The prism has a geometric profile defined by its dimensions. With a length of 10mm and an edge length of 10mm, it is a compact yet powerful optical component. The knife edge design allows for precise control of the light path, making it ideal for applications such as beam splitting, beam shaping, and optical signal routing.
This prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be used to enhance the performance of optical components, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as lower cost, simplicity, and the ability to function well across a broad spectrum of wavelengths.
