RPB-20-10H N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 20 mm Uncoated

The RPB-20-10H 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 20 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 specific type of N-BK7 used in this prism is from Schott, a renowned manufacturer of optical glass, ensuring a high level of quality and consistency.

The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, so they may require more frequent cleaning and maintenance.

The right-angle design of this prism allows for 90-degree deflection of light, making it ideal for use in beam folding or beam splitting applications. The prism's geometry is of the volume type, meaning it has parallel faces and a right-angle edge, which can help to minimize beam deviation and maintain the integrity of the light path.
