The P-DOV003 N-BK7 Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Ross Optical, a renowned vendor in the field. This prism is a Dove prism, a type of prism that provides an inverted image when light is shone through it. The Dove prism is named after its inventor, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, and is widely used in various applications, including optical instruments and systems.
The prism is made of N-BK7, a type of glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. The N-BK7 Schott designation indicates that the glass meets the specifications set by Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass. This ensures a high level of quality and consistency in the prism's optical performance.
The prism has a base shape of Volume and dimensions of 10 mm, 14.1 mm, and 42.28 mm for its 'a', 'b', and 'c' parameters, respectively. These dimensions define the prism's geometry and contribute to its unique optical properties. The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a specific coating is not required or desired.
The prism is designed for use with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, a common wavelength used in many optical systems. The item data is currently valid and the prism is in stock, according to the vendor's website.
