The P-WRC023 is a Wedge Prism with a diameter of 19 mm, sourced from Ross Optical. This prism is made of N-BK7, a high-quality optical glass from Schott, which is well-known for its excellent homogeneity and low optical dispersion. The prism's thickness is 3 mm, providing a robust and durable structure.
The wedge angle of this prism is 0.31648578925188775 radians, or approximately 18 degrees. This angle is crucial in the prism's functionality, as it causes light to be refracted, or bent, when it passes through the prism. The deviation angle of the prism is 0.17453292519943295 radians, or approximately 10 degrees, which is the angle by which the light is deflected when it passes through the prism.
This prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial in reducing reflection, increasing transmission, and preventing damage, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in certain applications where specific optical properties are required.
The prism's geometry is circular, which is a common shape for prisms due to its ease of use in various optical systems. The prism is designed to work with light of a wavelength of 633 nm, which is in the red part of the visible light spectrum.
