The RPB-04-2L N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from OptoSigma. This prism, designed for use in a variety of optical systems, is 4 mm in length, width, and height, making it a compact yet powerful addition to any setup.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as BK7, is known for its low dispersion and high Abbe number, making it ideal for applications that require high image quality and minimal chromatic aberration.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces. While coatings can enhance certain properties of optical components, such as reducing reflective losses or increasing transmission, uncoated prisms offer their own advantages. They are often more cost-effective, and their simplicity can make them easier to integrate into existing systems.
This right angle prism is designed for use at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, from scientific research and engineering to photography and videography.
