The P-DOV009 N-BK7 Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Ross Optical, a renowned vendor in the field. This prism is a specific type of optical element known as a Dove Prism, which is characterized by its unique geometry and properties.
The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass, produces this material. The prism's geometry is defined by its dimensions, with 'a' measuring 1.2 mm, 'b' measuring 1.7 mm, and 'c' measuring 5.07 mm. This particular prism is designed in a volume base shape, which is a common configuration for Dove Prisms.
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 the natural properties of the glass are desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may have higher reflectivity at certain wavelengths, which could affect their performance in some scenarios.
The prism is designed to work with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, which is a common wavelength used in many optical systems. The item data does not specify whether this prism is intended for use in specific applications or environments, so it's recommended to consult with the vendor or a qualified optical professional to ensure it meets your specific needs.
