G339910000 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism; 5mm Uncoated

The G339910000 N-BK7 Right Angle Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Qioptiq Photonics. This prism, designed for use in a variety of optical systems, is uncoated and features a right-angle geometry, making it ideal for applications requiring precise light direction and reflection.

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 produced by Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass. The use of N-BK7 ensures high light transmission and low dispersion, making this prism suitable for a wide range of wavelengths.

The prism has a square base with dimensions of 5mm x 5mm, providing a compact yet effective optical element. Despite its small size, it can significantly influence the path of light within an optical system. The right-angle geometry allows for 90-degree deflection of light, making it a versatile tool in various optical setups.

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 specific reflective or transmissive properties are not required. However, it may also mean that the prism is more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, which can affect its performance.
