The RPB-02-2L N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component designed for precise light manipulation in various applications. Manufactured by OptoSigma, this prism boasts a right-angle geometry and a 2 mm thickness, making it suitable for compact optical systems.
The prism is crafted from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. N-BK7, also known as borosilicate crown glass, offers a high Abbe number, low dispersion, and excellent homogeneity, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
This specific prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its reflective or transmissive properties. While coatings can enhance performance in specific scenarios, uncoated prisms like this one are often preferred when simplicity, cost-effectiveness, or specific optical requirements are priorities.
The RPB-02-2L N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is designed to operate at a central wavelength of 587.6 nm, a value that falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications involving visible light, such as imaging, spectroscopy, and beam manipulation.
