The P-WRC001 is a Wedge Prism with a diameter of 12.7 mm, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This prism is made from N-BK7, a high-quality glass commonly used in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties. The prism's thickness along the edge is 3 mm, providing a robust and durable structure.
The wedge angle of this prism is 0.03374245042880637 radians, or approximately 1.94 degrees, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require precise angular deviation. The deviation angle, which is half of the wedge angle, is 0.017453292519943295 radians, or approximately 1 degree. This specific deviation angle is often used in optical systems for beam deviation or beam splitting.
The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired, or where cost considerations are a factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated prisms may have higher reflectivity at the air-glass interface, which could impact the performance of the optical system.
