P-EDC004 N-BK7 Equilateral Prism; 30mm Uncoated

The P-EDC004 N-BK7 Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Ross Optical. This prism is designed with an equilateral geometry, meaning all three sides (a, b, and c) measure 30mm each, providing a symmetrical structure that is ideal for various applications.

The prism is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass developed by Schott AG, renowned for its excellent optical properties. N-BK7 is known for its low optical dispersion and high homogeneity, making it a popular choice for many optical systems. The wavelength for this prism is 632.8nm, which is within the visible light spectrum.

The base shape of this prism is classified as a volume prism, and its shape is specifically an equal prism. This design allows for efficient light transmission and minimal distortion, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, laser systems, beam manipulation, and interferometry.

Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in specific applications, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as lower cost, simplicity, and the ability to be used in a broader range of wavelengths without the risk of coating damage.
