RPB-15-2L N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 15 mm Uncoated

The RPB-15-2L 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 15 mm in length, width, and height, making it a compact yet powerful option for your optical needs.

The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as BK7, is often used in high-precision optical applications due to its low dispersion and high Abbe number. The N-BK7 designation indicates that this prism is made from Schott glass, a reputable manufacturer known for producing high-quality optical glass.

The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a natural, unaltered glass surface is required. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may exhibit higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths, which could affect the performance of your optical system.

The right-angle design of this prism allows for 90-degree deflection of light, making it ideal for use in systems where a change in direction is required. The prism's geometry is of the volume type, meaning it is a solid prism rather than a thin plate. This can provide increased stability and durability compared to thinner prisms.
