P-DOV011 N-BK7 Dove Prism; 2 mm Uncoated

The P-DOV011 N-BK7 Dove Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Ross Optical, a renowned vendor in the field. This prism is specifically designed for use in a diverse range of applications, thanks to its robust construction and precise specifications.

The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott AG, a leading glass manufacturer known for its high-quality optical materials. N-BK7 is prized for its excellent optical properties, including low autofluorescence, high homogeneity, and low thermal expansion. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision optical components.

The Dove prism shape of this component is particularly noteworthy. Dove prisms are used to invert and reverse an image, making them useful in a variety of applications, such as beam steering, image rotation, and optical image stabilization. The prism's geometry is defined by its dimensions: a = 2 mm, b = 2.8 mm, and c = 8.45 mm. These precise measurements ensure the prism's performance is consistent and reliable.

The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance certain properties of an optical component, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where specific coatings may interfere with the desired optical effect.

This prism is designed to work with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, a common wavelength used in many optical systems. It is currently in stock and available for immediate use. For more information, please refer to the vendor's website provided in the item data.
