The P-EDC008 N-BK7 Equilateral Prism is a high-quality optical component sourced from Ross Optical, a renowned vendor in the field. This prism is designed with an equilateral geometry, meaning all three sides (a, b, and c) measure 45mm each, providing a symmetrical structure that ensures consistent light refraction.
The prism is crafted from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. Schott, a leading glass manufacturer, produces this specific type of N-BK7, ensuring top-tier quality and reliability. The prism's material is optimized for a wavelength of 632.8nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including laser systems and interferometry.
The base shape of this prism is classified as a 'Volume' base, indicating that the prism's base is not a flat surface but rather a continuation of one of the prism's sides. This design feature enhances the prism's durability and stability.
Notably, this prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance certain optical properties, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, an uncoated prism offers simplicity and versatility. It can be used in various applications without the need for additional coating considerations.
